We talk about books, but how about authors in general?

One of my favorite authors is Ray Bradbury. I just saw this link on the MSN homepage: http://www.msn.com/?PC=msnHomeST&OCID=msnHomepage

I believe there was also a Vonnegut book that was published after K.V. Jr's death, and I'd like to read that as well.

Those two are at the top of my list, followed by Stephen King and John Steinbeck. Mark Twain, Dickens and Lovecraft would probably be on the list as well. And I really like the Margaret Atwood books I've read.

I really am a book nerd.

I love Bradbury...

I am an Austen addict. Since that's a rather limited range, I also love Georgette Heyer...

[Beentheredonethat]

Sarah--Ah, so much in common. I've been a King fan forever, though I have to say I haven't read his last zillion books. The Stand is one of my all time favorites.

LOVE Austin. So funny. I had an Austin class. I am a big sci fi fan. Arthur Clarke rules. Assimov rules.

I was thinking of you today as I rode atop the hills, riding mom, ponying daughter, and it being clear enough to see the whole bay, the city, and even Mt. Tam.

[Bluesy]

Kurt Vonnegut jr. LOVE.
More of a Bronte than Austen fan
Cervantes - Don Quixote is one of my all time favorites.
Love Camus.
I really like the newer Atwood, as opposed to her earlier works
love both Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky.
LM Montgomery too...
and I'll stop at Wilkie Collins, because I could go on for a while..

Yes, I'm a book whore. *hangs head in shame.*

[Come Shine]

Richard B. Wright. Hands down. Even got to meet him when he came for a book reading. Clara Callan, Adultery, Mr. Shakespeare's Bastard.

Anne Tyler. Breathing Lessons is a stunning read.

Frances Itani. Remembering The Bones and Deafening.

[paulaedwina]

Wen Spencer, a Pitt alum with whom I have friends in common. Patricia Briggs, Jack Higgins, Louis L'amour, Diana Gabaldon, Michael Jan Friedman, to name a few. I'm a book worm so the list is very long.

Tim Dorsey

I went to college with Tim. He was the editor of the school newspaper (largest weekly in the state of Alabama! ) The whole campus would wait anxiously to read his weekly editorial which was always hilarious!
