@dexterj @leonard_apa @jodyjsperling @StephenKing I like some of Stephen King's fiction a lot, but none of it is nearly as good as On Writing.

@Stevedwall My own works are not fantasy (but check out The Legend of Colgan Toomey, you might enjoy it). In the self-published fantasy realm, my favorite books include Jacob Klop's Sun Giver and Kaitlin Bellamy's Mapweaver series, beginning with Windswept.

#WritingCommunity if you could pick one famous person (author or not) to read your book, who would it be? For The Legend of Colgan Toomey, Mine would be @JasonIsbell. DM me Jason, I'll send you a signed copy 😎

@Francoi89098260 @budman_mark I'm a trivia guy so I can name most of them lol. I'll forgive you if you can't recall Halldor Laxness and Bjornsterne Bjornson, but I feel like most people know John Steinbeck, Rudyard Kipling, W.B. Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, William Faulkner, Thomas Mann... oh and Bob Dylan

@HolyShrtsNPants @mothercommerce1 You potato, this is a high school text, in which the math problems are coordinated with reading Maya Angelou's biography I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (or excerpts from it). The book is actually about Angelou's real life, not just advocating abuse or prostitution.

@LisaChroni I think there are stories that come across better from first person POV. I generally prefer it, but I've read plenty of great 3rd person stories, and even a couple from 2d person POV (best IMO, is the opening to Italo Calvino's If On a Winter's Night a Traveler)

@HelenFullyActor @RayaKhedker I loved that book. I really wish the world had fifteen or twenty Wilkie Collins novels and two or three from his buddy Dickens lol.

@Jas_Hayward Check out Assembly by Natasha Brown for sparseness. The other person who popped into my head as a woman with a unique style (closer to Kafka than Hemingway, though) is Herta Mueller. The Appointment will either drive you insane or make you fall in love. No in between with HM.

@ThomasPSulliva2 @PlottingTheEnd @LeighGeorgiaC @KatrinaDeverill The opening to Italo Calvino's If On A Winter's Night a Traveler is the best thing I've ever read in 2nd person (and up there overall). Jay McInerney's Bright Lights Big City isn't my favorite book in the world, but it's a solid example of 2nd person.
