tastyt Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 It's so hard for me to say I have a favorite, I'm not the type of person who finds an author she likes and then goes out and reads everything they've written; instead I prefer to sample a little bit from as many writers as I can.With that said... if I had to choose-favorite novelist- Gabriel Garcia Marquezfavorite poet- Marge Piercy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Lolita - read it both in english and russian. Then I realised that the english is actually the original, Nabokov trasnlated it to Ru and and French himself. What other books by him do you think are good?Dostoyevsky - I think is one of the most brilliant writers of all time. my very favorite is Notes from underground Have not yet gotten to reading de Beauvoir, cause the the entire Second Sex is just too great of a task while I have stuff to read for classes. I also enjoy Albert Camus (the fall, the stranger) , NietzscheMy favorite creative writer (rather than philosophical) is Oscar Wilde.Poetry: Bulgakov, Akhmatova, Mandelshteim (TOTOALLY OFF, you're probably familiar with these)Plays by : Goethe and Ibsen"Faust" is just so much deeper than any of shakespeares work(just my opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
