ex mea sententia: Alyn's Favorite Authors
http://alyn75.blogspot.com/2009/03/alyns-fave-authors-list.html
Thursday, March 5, 2009. I just added a list of my favorite authors of fiction. Has written. Most were good, a few were spectacular, but I really did not like "Playing for Pizza". It was a fluff novel in my opinion, and a waste of Mr. Grisham's. Talent. He should stick to the detailed legal thrillers he is known for. There are a wide variety of genres here to suit my varying moods. I hope you will check out a few of these authors for yourself. Then let me know how you liked what you read! I love to read!

Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Rowing To Latitude, Journeys Along the Arctic's Edge. This book belongs to one of my very favorite categories. Of books, that of true-life outdoor adventure. This book, "Rowing to Latitude" by Jill Fredston. The Yukon River ( Skagway. To Nome), the Chukchi Sea, the Mackenzie River to the Arctic. Ocean, the coast of Labrador, the coast of Norway, Svalbard islands, and the coast of Greenland. This book would make a great summer beach read. Thursday, March 5, 2009. Has written....

Sunday, April 26, 2009. The Girl With The Dragon Tatto. This book caught my eye because it was translated from the Swedish. I have read many books written by Swedish authors and enjoy the experience of reading a book written by someone from a different culture, who speaks a different language. I like the spare, somewhat melancholy. Style of Swedish authors; the story usually set during a grey, cold, colorless winter, leaving the door open for lots of interesting contrast with characters and settings.

Thursday, April 9, 2009. A House in Fez: Building a Life in the Ancient Heart of Morocco. This book, "A House in Fez" by Suzanna Clarke, chronicles the adventures of an Australian couple who, after visiting the ancient city of Fez in Morocco, decide to purchase a house there. Suzanna and her husband Sandy fall in love with this ancient Medina, or walled city. Fez is located just across the Strait of Gibraltar. Rub shoulders with artisans. Half a world away. I am again amazed at the astonishing variet...

Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Just finished another John Grisham. Even though I haven't loved his latest stuff, I've been reading all his books for so long that I can't not read his newest. "The Associate" was a little slow going at first. I wasn't all that interested the first couple of chapters. However, as is often the case with many books, perseverance. Is rewarded. The plot picked up, the characters started to get fleshed out and it got interesting. I enjoyed the book. Grisham. If you like John Grisham.

Tuesday, December 30, 2008. The idea of starting my own blog (after months of blog-stalking) has intrigued me for some time. I enjoy writing and find it a great way to organize and express my thoughts. However, to every endeavor there must be a purpose, however small. Having a blog seemed a great opportunity to combine writing with another of my passions: reading. I wish that I had had the foresight. Things related to those pastimes as well. Well, here it goes! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I love to read!
