Raison d’etre

Posted by: lynnettekent on: February 7, 2008

I’d like to talk about books.   Which ones do we love, and why?  Or, if you’d like, which ones do we hate?  I’m going to list some of my favorite authors and the titles I love and see if I can get the attention of those searching for a place to talk about them.  A shot drawn at venture, but worth a try.  Now that my computer is attached wirelessly to the Web, I can check in easily anytime.

 Among my most beloved authors are:

Dorothy Dunnett–The Lymond Chronicles

Dorothy Sayers–The Peter Wimsey novels, especially Gaudy Night

Ellis Peters–The Brother Cadfael Stories, especially The Rose Rent 

Mary Stewart–Nine Coaches Waiting, Madam Will You Talk, Airs Above the Ground

Mary Renault–The Persian Boy, The King Must Die

Georgette Heyer–Venetia, The Masqueraders, The Unknown Ajax, These Old Shades, Devil’s Cub

Audrey Niffenegger–The Time Traveler’s Wife

Andrew McCall Smith–The Right Attitude Toward Rain

Dean Koontz–Odd Thomas, Brother Odd, The Husband, One Door Away From Heaven

Nora Roberts–Carnal Innocence, Night Fires

Marne Davis Kellogg–Perfect

Mary Balogh–Simply Love

That’ll do for a start.  I’ll be thinking of others.
