ah...i forgot all about KURT VONNEGUT. one year when i was a teenager, i went on a crusade to read all his books back-to-back...it was a great experience, and i've been thinking a lot about re-reading them all. i remember my faves were 'deadeye dick', 'galapagos', 'breakfast of champions' and...egh...the one about the psychic twins that they made the bad jerry lewis movie from...i forget the name of it...the BOOK was good, anyway... | |

[Edited 12/29/05 13:06pm] He's not a good writer, except that the plots are fun and I get into them very easily. His characters are all the same, his books are the same, and he has no style whatsoever. But I have enjoyed his books as much as just about any author's. Check this song out at:

Tough one... I'd say Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde and James Baldwin are probably my three favorites. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

TERRY PRATCHETT I like them both. Both were/are such MASS writers. I read everything by both, although there are times I just cannot stomach another DiscWorld® Novel. There's too much. Then. Going Postal comes out... and here we go again Agatha. She is golden. Love her for Miss Marple and writing SUCH an unlikeable character like Hercules Poirot. Morse ain't worth nothing compared to Poirot. |

Also, if you like crime-thrillers, then you GOT to check out Natsuo Kirino. She writes amazing books.
Her novel 'Out' blew me away. |
