Was thinking about the October Book Club and how wonderful Kazuo Ishiguro is, with his deep understanding of humanity and his ability to paint subtle pictures with words. I need to replace the books by him that I left behind in hostels.
Soooo.
Which authors would you unreservedly recommend to people?
None. Most of the people I mention books to I expect to pick a story clean.
Who do you love to read again and again?
Very, very few authors; I go years between re-reading anything these days.
Which authors do you think are consummate artists?
Several of the Decadents, Symbolists, and Surrealists.

Re: I am not longer a twelve-year old girl, and therefore I do not gush.

Wodehouse, Orwell, and Douglas Adams. I'll never tire of reading and rereading their books. *NM*

R.A. Salvatore. I know it's absurd but his Drizzt novels get me misty, esp when his dwarves grieve.
