Who are your favorite authors? Which of their works do you like best?Mahfouz (0,1 MB)
J. K. Rowling, Orson Scott Card, Isaac Asimov, J. R. R. Tolkien, Philip Pullman
I like sci-fi/fantasy mostly.
Jaqueline Wilson, Dan Höjer and Charlie Higson.
Of Jaqueline Wilson I lie her book series girls the most and from Dan Höjer his Swedish ghost stories and from Charlie Higson his zombie books.
I like Darcie Chan and Stephen King.
I like a lot women authors: Flannery O'Connor, Alice Hoffman, Toni Morrison. Also I like authors that write in the genre of magical realism: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, I think Kafka kind of falls into this category sometimes. Also, playwrights and authors that fall into Absurdist literature: Harold Pinter and Kafka.
Looking up Gabriel Garcia Marquez, I found a website in which they feature 10 free-to-read short stories of his. The first short story I read of his I did not care for, but I was much younger and had too many unbending beliefs. It was "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings." I have a much greater appreciation for this story now that I am older and it is one of my favorites.
Flannery O'Connor is intense. I wasn't sure if I could get through her short story "The Misfit." I really like both Garcia Marquez and Kafka too. I don't have much experience with some of the others you mention, which is a criminal oversight on my part. One of my greatest professors is an expert on Morrison.
I read all the time, so my favorites change.
I can tell you about a book that's blowing my mind right now. I love it.
The Night Land by William Hope Hodgson.
How did I not know about this book?!?!
Jim Butcher, Stephen King, Douglas Adams, and Jean Auel.
