...Mockingbird is a wonderful story and I keep hesitating to watch the film to possibly sully my appreciation of the book.I can't read Steinbeck without having my breath taken away and despairing of ever being anything but an unknown cypher in the Great Unwashed Ersatz Authors. (Fortunately, Mr. King addressed this in On Writing.)
Harper Lee. She had a story to tell. Just one, apparently. And she told it in unmatched style. I still remember reading that doggone book after I was supposed to be in bed, by the dim light of the overhead bulb in the hall, stunned at the announcement in the courtroom, whispering hoarsely and furiously, "No! No! No!" Never had a book affect me that much before or since.
Dave Barry. He makes me laugh. Like, every time.
The film was extraordinary; both the book and the film can be appreciated separately....Mockingbird is a wonderful story and I keep hesitating to watch the film to possibly sully my appreciation of the book.
Thanks Ms. HThe film was extraordinary; both the book and the film can be appreciated separately.
Well there is a lot of them and in a lot of very different genres.I often return to these Authors:
Raymond E Feist
Tad Williams
Meg Gardiner
JRR Tolkien
Clive Barker
Margaret Mahy
Joe Hill
Terry Pratchett
Besides Stephen King, who else do you enjoy?
Thanks. I might just do that. Haven't actually heard of that one before but i check it out.if you like alternative history, try Dominion by C.J. Samson, the premise is England, lost the war(at Dunkirk) Churchill is on the run with a band of rebels who are trying to oust the germans, and a former scientist holds a key to something that america is developing that could change the balance of power.
