| Favorite Authors... But! No, SFF authors... Which ones are yours... Because it's my thread I can decide on a top whatever. So, I decided to stick with my own idea, and a Top 4 (in no particular order) is what we're doing... My list is: Aimee Bender Mark Richard Chuck Palahniuk Amy Hempel |

| Re: Favorite Authors... OK, not really a top 4 non-SFF, too many to choose from but here's four of my favs: Graham Greene Charles Dickens Mark Twain Robert Louis Stevenson (slighlty marginal but plenty of non SFF there too). |

| Re: Favorite Authors... interesting lists. I think I've had an insatiable appetite for SFF for like a year now but maybe it's time to balance things out. Jack Kerouac Haruki Murakami Eiji Yoshikawa Toni Morrison |

| If you see a stranger...  | Re: Favorite Authors... Here are my four non-SFF, I assume you mean non-horror as well, since it's a genre that has so many crossovers into the other two. Patricia Sprinkle Tess Gerritsen Alice Hoffman James Patterson Although, I would like to give honorable mentions to Jane Austen and Anita Shreve. |

My list: Hunter S. Thompson Bill Bryson Jack London Dr. Seuss This was really hard, BTW. I tried to make the list comprehensive - all time favorites, current, and past. This is as good as I can do with only 4 spots to choose from. | |
