My favorite writer

I wanted to write, rant, rail, oh, I do not know, I know the usual, the media, cultural tourism, festivals generic consumption, lie, cheat, blah, blah, blah, but under the still engraved in Ezine again - this is the second time in two weeks has done - I have decided to change tracks. I have to stay away from negativity for a short time - I need a positive change - and, at least for a few hours. There's nothing worse than trawling through directories and files, research and experimentation,Delete, copy, paste, scan, backup, reorganization and restart all over again. It gives me a headache.

I have to jump into a book, any book, my last book, until I think about the amount of wasted time, some concern Bastard, beat me some robots.

Yes, books. I love books. They always, always. If I could sit and read all day I would be the happiest man on earth. For me it is a refuge, a place of education, action, emotion, history andparticularly telling good stories. I read a wide range of books - I am very democratic in this sense - to the extent that they are well written, crime, history, classics, graphic novels, pulp, biographies, politics, philosophy, art. I love the places that I also think I met beautiful descriptions of daily life, the loops, the formation of life of yesteryear, new ways of looking at things things, opposition, struggle, understanding, learning, camaraderie was I agree with theCharacters that jump from the sides and live in my head.

Writing and literature informed my life more than any other art form, and I sometimes wished I could add, I wrote had the courage needed. I think all writers in high regard, and perhaps one day will meet the will and the means to be a doodle of my own attempt.

So what should I do? What are my preferences? Now I tend to male authors (do not know why), I have not read read, as many authors as IrishI probably should, and I tend to read contemporary fiction. This is reflected in the list below, where I have some of my favorite authors (named in no particular order). There are many more, but I fear that the page further.
