Who is your favorite writer? (Could be any form of writing). And what is your favorite work by that writer?

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Katherine Kurtz. She wrote the Deryni fantasy series, that's set in England circa 1400s - 1500s, if memory serves me correctly. The deryni are a race of beings born with magic based powers, and they're being persecuted by the catholic church. I learned a lot about catholicism as a teen from reading those books. It's a fantastic series.

 

[Cyrus' Wife]

Tim O'brien for nonfiction. I love all his books about the Vietnam War because he has a very unique/engaging style of writing.

Frances Cha for fiction.

Langston Hughes and Maya Angelou for poetry.

 

[Sway]

Stephen King.

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

[Paper Boi]

 

[invalid]

All time - Oscar Wilde - Picture of Dorian Gray

Right now - I really like Margo Jefferson's writing, especially as a critic. Her new book Constructing a Nervous System is good. Love her use of language, very reminiscent of Baldwin and Morrison.

 

[Harry Powder]

John Grisham

 

[Deltron]

one of the few books we had to read for high school that I actually enjoyed
