Back in 2017, I wrote a post where I listed all of my "Most Read" authors. That was a lot of fun and segued into me writing a series of 8 Posts on some of my favorite books:
Recently I was talking with someone on some blog (and sadly, I can't for the life of me remember who or where) and the subject of favorite authors came up. I asked them if they had favorite authors or were going to do a post on it and it got my own creative juices flowing. So I made a notation on Google Calendar to schedule a post for today on my Favorite Authors, and totally forgot to note who inspired me. So if it was you, please chime in so I can link to you. (and because it is really bugging me now that I can't remember that info).
My favorite authors have changed over the years. Some spoke to me as a teen and no longer do. Some of the authors I love right now I'd never heard of back in 2000. Some authors are just like oatmeal, they do the job but it's not something you get dressed up for to eat. And some authors I loved when I first encountered them and I still love them today. Without further ado, here is a list of authors who I consider Current Favorites.
- Neal Asher
- Jane Austen
- Glen Cook (even though I've forgotten almost everything about his Black Company series, hahahahah)
- Larry Correia
- Charles Dickens (He has got to be close to the #1 spot)
- Dorothy Gilman
- Frank Herbert (to be honest, that's just Dune)
- Patricia McKillip
- Rex Stout
- Leo Tolstoy (I love his books even when I hate them)
- Dan Willis
- Tom Wood
I thought about trying to write about each author, but you know what? That sounds like a lot of work. And I am declaring this post to be a work-free zone :-D Adios!
