Toni Morrisson has a Nobel Prize for a reason. her stories are beautiful and lyrically complelling, without being insistent. I can't even pick my favorite of hers, but The Bluest Eye was the one that touched me first.

Chuck Palahunick is a twisted crazy son of a bitch. The things that go through his head and make it into his novels are things you can't even think of- the twists- try Invisible Monsters.

ANd of course, being a lit. major, I have to love Shakespeare. He is the original ganster.

I love reading Neil Gaiman's works. So I guess you can call him my favorite author.

For lovestruck like me, judith mcnaught is one name that will always ring a bell if romance novel is tackled. Ms Mcnaught has a way of enchanting her readers by the select words she uses and the twist of her novels as well.

If I had to pick just one favorite, it would have to be Truman Capote, both because of his amazing writing and how interesting he was as a person.

At the moment it is Joseph Sheridan LeFanu.I can not really explain why except that I like his style.I have started reading more since I married a wife who can throw a television away. I can read very well but was never that interested enough to start. Right now I am so engulfed in mid-eighteen hundreds writers with a touch of the paranormal. I am new to forum writing and intense book reading; therefore, I hope you all will understand if I seem uninformed about some subjects.
