Mar. 2nd, 2005 04:22 pmI am sick :( I thought I was getting ill a week ago, and luckily I escaped it, but not anymore. I don't like it. But at least I didn't have to go to school today and slept till noon. Also I woke up to the sequel to Left My Heart, Surrender The Grey, which has an adorable first chapter! <333 And everybody should read it. It's been so long, I remember waiting for LMH last year and how it brightened up the mid week slump. Yay!
And now because I am bored and sick a meme.
Which authors have you read 10 or more books by?
Not that many, though I am sure I am forgetting some, so expect ETAs. :) Oh and alphabetically, because why not.
Astrid Lindgren- My childhood is defined by her books, they are probably what I learned to read on. So wonderful and different and yay. Sadly no one here has heard of her and only of Pippi, probably due to the film.
Erich Kastner- It took me ages to discover how to spell his name in English, but yes, someone else whose books I love, I don't know how many times I've reread "The 35th of May"
Christopher Pike-I love his Remember Me trilogy, really made me think. My Pike stage overlapped with my LJ Smith stage, I guess I can see why. :)
Jacqueline Wilson-I went through a phase of reading so many of her books in a row, I think it was just after I came here, when I convinced myself that I need to catch up on English Children's literature.
Karl May- Another German author that no one here has heard from, he was my favourite author for I don't know how long. I was eight when I started reading him, now that I look back I can't believe I was so young. I still love him though.
LJ Smith- I was obsessed with the Night World series when I was in year 9/10. Read them all, and the Forbidden Game trilogy (where I promtly fell in love with Julian) and Vampire Diaries and everything else I could find. Joined mailing lists, I guess it was my first fandom.
RL Stine-Um, I went through a Goosebumps stage in year 8...
Roald Dahl-Matilda was probably the first book I read after coming to England and since my English was not exactly good, it was a nice strart, the second was Great Expectations, so I guess I was a quick learner...
Terry Pratchtett- I love his style and his humour and his books so much, want to read them all.
And that's it. Now that I have it all written down, I can see not only my ability to completely obsess over things, but also the different stages I've gone through, back then before Fandom took over my life and stopped my constant reading.
