BOOKS!!!!
Everybody loves to read, right? Right? RIGHT? I'd better hear some voices agreeing with me pretty soon or it's game over in Chicago for all you sports fans....
Right now I'm in the middle of creating an MS Access database of all my books. Here are some of my favourite authors and books. Click on their names to learn more about them. The list changes often, so check back again soon!
Click on any of these buttons to jump ahead to that section
Alcott, Louisa May- one of my favorite authors. Little Women etc.
Trixie Belden- That schoolgirl shamus and her pals solve loads of mysteries together in Sleepyside on the Hudson.
Montgomery, L.M.- Anne of Green Gables and much more!
������Please take a moment to check out my L. M Montgomery site! Sorry about the ad square.
Wilder, Laura Ingalls- Famous author of the autobiographical Little House series.
Austen, Jane- A bit slow-moving and 'stuffy' at times, I know, but still worth the effort. Just look at how well all of those recent movie versions of her books have done!
Davies, Robertson- a great Canadian author that charmed many with his Deptford Trilogy, among others.
Dickens, Charles- What can I say? One of the best loved English authors ever.
Steinbeck, John- One of America's finest writers, John Steinbeck had a knack for capturing the humour and pathos of life.
Trollope, Anthony- Not as popular as Dickens, but a great read nonetheless. Dickens' humorous, concise insight into people's motivations and actions.
Coupland, Douglas- A Vancouver based Canadian
author who has his finger firmly on the pulse of Generation X ( a term he coined.)
Irving, John- The wonderful author who has touched me with many of his books. Resides part-time in Toronto.
McCullough, Colleen A writer from 'down under' best known for The Thorn Birds, but I am currently reading her First Man in Rome series (and it's great! I highly recommend it!)
Robbins, Tom- A wonderfully irreverent,spiritual and imaginative writer.
Vonnegut, Kurt- Who is this guy? He and Kilgore Trout have got some 'esplaining to do!!
Asimov, Isaac- One of the pre-eminent voices in sci-fi.
Clarke,Arthur C.- famous author of 2001series, among many others.
Kay,Guy Gavriel- an Canadian author with a gift for prose and an wonderful imagination.
Wyndham, John- absolutely one of the best sci-fi writers ever!
