Who is your favorite writer?

@Aingeal Thank you. I am happy we are friends here.

Inertia, He is pretty good yes. Glad to see you again.

@inertia4 Same here, very much so.

Very cool Becky . What does he write? Thanks for the post.

@AunBecky can you share any of his titles with us?

@Aingeal He writes novels with all the ingredients. romance comedy mystery and history.

Nice to know Vjval, thank you for the post. It is good that you are exploring. I like to do that too. Just to find different things to pique my interest.

@Aingeal Dinkar was our national poet.Now he's no more.I don't know whether his poems are available in English.

Wow, poetry, my first writing love. Poe is my reading love, my writing love is poetry. Thank you for sharing Jaishankar. I will have to see if I can find some of Dinkar's work in English, since that is the only language I read, write and speak in.

@Aingeal Well known for Sherlock home series and some historic series. I love Agatha Christi also. In our local language I love M.T Vasudevan, and M. Mukundhan

A classic writer and a very good writer. S. George. Thank you for sharing.

@Aingeal you're welcome:) I once read a little about King's "The shinning" , but my English is terrible and I didn't finish reading the whole book :)

@dengcaijun Have you read some of King's older work? That might be something you enjoy.

DengCaijun, I like King as well. the books are very good if you can get them. Even if you listen to them on audio. Thanks for the response.

I don't read much anymore as of late. Have gotten out of the habit you could say. I love Charlotte's Web, I wore the book out when I was younger. Thank you so much for sharing Sreekala.

Thank you for answering, I appreciate that. Have you found a new author that you like so far in that genre?

Ajmal, yes, Brown is very good. I have his Angels and Demons in hard back. I have never heard of Basheer though I may look him and up and see what is out there. Thank you so much for sharing.

Fair enough Judy, I am glad you shared. What is the latest crime or scifi story you have read lately?

Oh wow, Marlina, I have never been a history buff. Good for you. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope that this post can help others find good authors that they can check out and decide upon their own.

Marilyn, I do understand. I think the closest I come to mystery is Patterson. Thank you for the comment.

Paigea, I don't think I have ever read Michener. Thanks for the note.

Thank you, @Aingeal, and I think you're the first person I've come across that has admitted to being able to survive without their phone for more than a few hours! I'm absolutely memorized, are you truly human or is this a cleverly coded computer program that someone developed to try to fool me! J/K! It's just that I've never heard that before (except when I've read one of my own post to proofread it for obvious errors!) I usually read a lot of science material but I definitely appreciate a lot of fiction too. I usually bring a few books and some notebooks and pens under similar circumstances as you described. I have as much, if not more, 'pouring out' than 'flowing in' with my mind, usually! I'm definitely not a speed reader by any stretch of the imagination! So it does consume a lot of my time to read a decent book, but sometimes that's worth it, of course!

Egg Eye, thank you for your comment. I am not as much as a reader now days as I used to be, however when I am on the train, I do have a book in my hand, rather than a tablet or my phone. Good choices.
