In response to Other reads?, written by Lynn D on July 28, 1998 at 12:18:13
1. Georgette Heyer: discovered her while hunting for something JA-like. I read it everywhere (but gave up trying to do it on the bus after LOLing so much the charming old lady next to me asked me a few nervous questions about what I was doing :-))
2. Dorothy Dunnett's "Lymond Chronicles": read them only when I know I won't be interrupted, since I become dead to all signs of life around me when in the middle of them. Francis... sigh
3. PG Wodehouse: read him in the bathtub (yes, I'm one of those)...or at lunch...or on the street...or whenever I get few minutes free and want cheering up. Dangerous to read while drinking.
4. Erich Maria Remarque. Absolutely poetically beautiful. Read them in a quiet corner where no one will see me cry.
Those are my absolute favorites, but I also really like
Emile Zola
Alexandre Dumas
Henry Fielding
LM Montgomery
Victor Hugo
Rudyard Kipling
George Meredith
Sharon Kay Penman
The Brontes
And I love poetry:
Persian poetry (Saadi especially)
Kipling
Burns
Donne
Marwell
Shelley
Byron
Keats
Yesenin (russian)
