Hi all,
Oh, my God, and this idiot librarian is trying to tell Judy S. what to
read! I'd like to see *her* list! I recognize many authors on that
list , but some I'm not familiar with. I'm going to have to research
them. Wow! Yeh, love George Seldom. All these authors seem to be
meaty ones, not shallow or frivolous. Some are fun and funny, and
that's great! I tried reading John Gresham but couldn't get into his
legal thrillers. However, I read Skipping Christmas and laughed myself
silly. The cat probably wondered what on earth was going on!
Frankly, one of the criteria I base good literature on is whether the
author can talk about serious things and also humorous ones in the same
incident. There are always funny things that happen, even in the
direst circumstances. If you can laugh and cry at the same time,
that's real living. Any author who can do that is on my good list!
Just in case anyone asks, here are a list of some of my favorits.
J.R.R. Tolkien
C.S. Lewis
Madeleine L'Engle
Arthur C. Clark
David Eddings
Dana Stabenow
Kathy Reichs
Clive Cussler
Taylor Caldwell
Booth Tarkington
Charles Dickens
Mark Twain
Tony Hillerman
Faye Kellerman
There are a bunch more, but to list them all would take up too much time.
