Yay, another George R.R. Martin fan!!

I read the first 3 books of the Fire and Ice saga my senior year of High School, but then I had to wait about 5 years for Feast of Crows to be published! It was an agonizing wait, but I couldn’t even finish the book because I had forgotten that he had killed off all my favorite characters! I think there is going to be a 5th book coming out though. I wonder who will survive the 4th book to make another appearance? What did you think of Feast of Crows?

I used to love Stephen King’s books, but haven’t been able to read one for a while … has his writing style changed since his earlier work, or am I just less “adventurous” with this genre? Something for me to think about …

My cutoff is three books and I didn’t include classics or Wharton and Austin would be on my list for sure. I have read and enjoyed more than 3 books by Stephen King but oddly didn’t think to add him to my list.

Me, too – if an author is going to make my “favorites” list, I usually have to have read and enjoyed more than just one of his/her books. Except for Harper Lee, since she really only wrote the one book. By the way, since you like Jane Austen, you might like Barbara Pym, too – they’re often compared, although I think Pym’s writing is a little more blatantly comic than Austen’s.

I feel two books is a good basis to pick favorite authors! I really need to update my LT authors list.

I can tell that you’re smart, just by looking at your list of favorite authors.

It’s always good to see Wharton on someone’s list.
