My Favorite Authors

Nov 28, 2004

Below is the list of authors I cannot resist if their books are nearby. Actually, as I mentioned in my previous post at WritingCave, I got three books as my birthday present. For at least two months I hadn’t picked a single book to read due to “work pressure”. I write “work pressure” in quotes because this is a very lame excuse for not reading. One of the books is Garcia’s autobiography: Living To Tell The Tale. It seemed horrendous not to read Garcia’s book while having it. I decided to keep an hour every morning just for reading, before starting my work. Actually it makes sense. The work for time can be stretched infinitely, but once I start working, it becomes virtually impossible to extricate myself and read for a while.
