Book Blogger Hop and Question of the Week



The book blogger hop is a weekly event usually hosted by Crazy-For-Books, but this weekend it’s being hosted by Lori’s Reading Corner. This is such a great way to meet like minded bloggers and revel in our mutual love of books.

This week’s question is:
“Who is the one author that you are dying to meet?”

It seems like all the authors I would die to meet are already dead. This is the unfortunate result of having my head buried in the classics for too long. Fortunately, I can still dream of meeting Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I remember reading One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in The Time of Cholera back to back, over a weekend many years ago and it was something of a revelation.
I would also love to meet Jhumpa Lahiri because I love the simplicity of her prose and the gentleness of her characters.

  7. That's such a hard question to answer. There are so many authors of classics that I'd love to meet. But if I can only choose one, I'd like to meet Lewis Carroll. He had to have one wild imagination.

    Thanks for stopping by the Write Game and leaving a comment. Hope you'll stop in again.
