Community Assistance - ralgith - 04-30-2010
Ok everyone, I'm working on a really big project right now and I would like your help. This project is just for fun, so don't worry about any "need" to do this.
What I'd like is for everyone to list their top 5 favorite Authors, and also a couple of classical authors if you can think of them.
For myself, this would be my entry.
Top 5 favorite authors (for me its actually 7 since I can't pick JUST 5):
David Eddings
Anne McAffery
David Weber
Clive Cussler
R. A. Salvatore
Robert Jordan
Terry Goodkind
And for classical authors, I could think of 3 on the spot
Edgar Allen Poe
Sir Thomas Mallory
Homer
Thanks to anyone who participates with this
RE: Community Assistance - Twitchin Kitten - 04-30-2010
Top 5 Authors:
Robert Heinlein
Jonathan Kellerman
Kathy Reichs
Piers Anthony
I'm drawing a blank on more.
Top 5 classic:
Orwell
Edgar Allan Poe
and this is where i'm kind of stuck.
I am enthralled with Dante Allegheri only because of his Divine Comedy, which I've read a couple of times.
Also, The stories of the Arabian Nights, told by Princess Shahrazad but she's not considered an author. The tales are translated and told and there are several translations.
Aesop - if you get the adult version of his fables they are quite interesting! By adult version I mean the original writings, not some porno version
RE: Community Assistance - ralgith - 04-30-2010
Hmm, would H. G. Wells be considered classic you think?
RE: Community Assistance - Twitchin Kitten - 04-30-2010
Oh yes and add that to my list! I told you I was brainfarting!
RE: Community Assistance - ralgith - 04-30-2010
Well, you've already duplicated E.A.P. and I can only use each one once hehehe...

I think that's Harper Lee.... not 100% sure without checking my bookcase.
And no Dylan, Google is my last resort

Thanks TK. My laziness outweighed my desire to not look stoopid.
