Dear Panic Monster,
You may have my attention after a particularly rough day, but I think I have you beat. It started with part of my oven falling on my hand that ended up with me in the Emergency Room – hyperventilating. My hand is all better, stuck full of drugs and relieved of it’s swelling it is the only thing that feel alright right now. OCD sucks, I know there are worse things but I will be damned if I can think of them right now. Thank God for Dragon Dictate. So, to calm my troubled mind here is a list of my favorite authors from A to Z.
- Peter Abrahams
- Christopher Buckley
- Patricia Cornwell
- Joan Didion
- Dave Eggers
- Gillian Flynn
- John Green
- Christopher Hitchens
- John Irving
- James Joyce
- Stephen King
- Elmore Lenord
- W. Somerset Maugham
- Audrey Niffenegger
- George Orwell
- Tom Perrotta
- Matthew Quick
- Michael Robotham
- David Sedaris
- Hunter S. Thompson
- Stephen Unwin
- Voltaire
- Kathleen Woodiwiss
- Gao Xingjian
- Richard Yates
- Emile Zola
Ah…sweet release. Just thinking about ole curmudgeonly Maugham makes me feel so much better! I never noticed that my authors are almost exclusively male and I find that rather odd, maybe it is time to give some female writers a bump on my “to read” list.
So friends and neighbors, do you have any favorite authors? The ones that make your toes curl, your heart race or quite your mind? If so, I am dying to know!
