Re: Favorite Author
I still like the writing of J.R.R.Tolkien the best though there are others I enjoy too. I like the fullness of the characters and of each enviroment they're in. The good versus evil is played out in a captivating way. Plus being a hobbit's cousin doesn't hurt either. HaHa! Hey Backwoodlessons2, what has the author Dan Brown written? And why do you like his works?Life is either an adventure... or you're not doing it right!!!

It's hard to choose just one.....hmmmm....
I like Ann Rule because she writes true crime in a way that is like reading a good mystery. I like Amy Tan because she is a great storyteller, even though after awhile, it seems like she writes the same book over and over. Right now, I am on a Michener kick, and I like him because.....just because.

Papa John Steinbeck.
Cannery Row, one of my favorites. I read when I'm bummed. Crack up every time I get to the spot in Chapter 30, at the height of Doc's party:
"It was then that someone lit the 25-foot string of firecrackers" in the middle of the party.
I love his writing, the way he selects words and crafts sentences. I read his books over and over again, even if they're kind of sad and depressing in spots.
John Steinbeck paints movies in my mind while I read his words. I love that!Make trouble, have fun, do good stuffs.

Somerset Maugham is my favorite all time author but I really like Henry Miller's books as well. Of more contemporary authors I'm a fan of Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen.“First we fought the preliminary round for the k***s and now we’re gonna fight the main event for the n*****s."
