RE: list of favorite books and writers (machine color)

I'm leaving poets for another day

Herman Hesse

Mark Twain (his short stories most of all & The Diaries of Adam and Eve)

Albert Camus

Rousseau

Ayn Rand (We The Living & The Virtue of Selfishness more than Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead, those clunkers were more for the cool cats just trying to look cool, but well written nonetheless)

Foucault

Plato

Homer

Alasdair MacIntyre

T.H. White's The Once and Future King

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front

Frank McCourt, Tom Robbins, Truman Capote, James Joyce, George Orwell

Brian Friel, Bertolt Brecht, and Tony Kushner

Barbara Kingsolver, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, Sylvia Plath, Zora Neale Hurston

Agatha Christie, James Ellroy (only The Black Dahlia and L.A. Confidential)

Michel Crichton, Lewis Carroll, Philip K. Dick, Aldous Huxley, H. G. Wells

Lois Lowry, Roald Dahl, Shel Silverstein, Theodor Seuss Geisel
yeah . . . that's a good start
