Re: whats your favorite author?       01/11/06 08:49 PM Edit Reply Quote retrograde Reged: 04/15/04 Posts: 1569 Oh so many good ones here! I definitely grew up reading (and re-reading ) the Little House books and all the Anne of Green Gables Books. They're like "childhood" for me, right there. A.S. Bayatt and John Irving are both other favourites of mine... rather different from each other admittedly, but both fantastic in their own ways. I also really love Margaret Atwood - Handmaid's Tale is probably one of my all-time favourites. Milan Kundera (The Unbearable Lightness of Being, My Life Without Me, etc.), Gabriel Garcia Marquz, and Michael Ondaatje (he wrote the English Patient... In the Skin of the Lion though is I think my favourite of his, or Anil's Ghost is great too) are all favourites too. Oh, and Virginia Woolf (Mrs. Dalloway, another all-time favourite). And a few more Canadians: Jane Urquhart, Alice Munro... OK, I could go on, but I'll stop there. I have so much reading to do for school I hardly get to read much fiction these days (even though I'm an English student! Go figure! haha) Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
