Booking It--Five for Favorites


1. Do you have a favorite author?

My favorite “literary” author is, (surprise, surprise!), Jane Austen. My favorite “escape/entertainment” authors are Patricia Cornwell and Daniel Silva.

2. Have you read everything he or she has written?

Yes for all.

3. Did you LIKE everything?

Jane Austen—yes, but I could rank her novels from most to least favorite if I had to. Patricia Cornwell—I love all the Kay Scarpetta novels, although some are a lot better than others. Her other works are okay, but they if they were all I’d read of her, she wouldn’t be a favorite author. Daniel Silva—yes.

4. How about a least favorite author?

That’s hard. I’ll have to get back to you on that one.

5. An author you wanted to like, but didn’t?

Thomas Pynchon. But maybe one day I'll come to appreciate him.

Please post your ranking of Jane Austen's novels- I'm interested to see how much it matches with mine! :)
