   The Devil's Alternative by Fredrick Forsythe was the first novel I really enjoyed in high school. I use to hate to read long books.
   Then I read a novel by the legendary author Robert Ludlum called "The Bourne Identity." I was hooked. I then purchased every book this author ever wrote. To me he is the best novel writer there is/was. I still remember when I heard he passed away. I felt a deep sorrow within. He had a way to capture you in his writings and make you a part of the story.

    Ok so what did I write? Well it was first published two years ago so not a self promotion post but you can read a sizeable extract if you google "Down to the Marrow" by Catherine Ann Stone.

    Hemingway for his simplistic writing and depiction of life and its richness and flaws.
    Poe for his darkness and mystery.
    Tolkien for his fantasy and creation of worlds.
    Homer for his everlasting epics.
    Hugo for his rich detail, and riveting stories.
    Shakespeare for obvious reasons.
    
    I'm a reading freak so I could go on and on, but those mentioned are my faves.

    hmmmm... livewithrichard...just one?dude that's just wrong isnt it! okay then one....but then I have to choose just one genre!! dude doubly wrong .....ok then #1 fav genre:fantasy ...and for fantasy specifically urban fantasy which could be only Charles de Lint (don't ask what was I thinking when I typed de witt...sigh....)...moonheart was the first book of his that I read...that's my favourite of all of his as well. I can open any of his books and swoosh off into a otherworld full of magic, light, good and evil and come away with the same wide eyed wonder I feel when walking in the desert, alone and yet with and part of all that is around under and through my soul
    now comes the part where I say okay be brave..go on and feel the fear of shelving one author, one genre for another!!! 'cept I have Never been able to read clive c....I just get about 6 pages in and go ugh...(sorry) (gotta be a female thing eh?)so don't go double dare on me and say ok bethard read a dirk p novel as well:)
    at the moment I am deep into nigella lawsons how to be a domestic goddess! that's where feel the fear comes from today/whoever thought reading a cookbook would be a good as reading ember in ashes for the 3rd time....hmmmm...well...sorry nigella I take that back but its close!!!!! plus I made a nice egg custard today for the first time...but the sabaa tahir story of Elias and Laia is pulling me back...the nightbringer is coming! hey livewithrichard! have you read her series yet?ember in ashes?
