My friend, Renee, tagged me for this quiz, which I will try my best to answer. Although I must confess that I am not a great reader and have not read many of the great classics, below is a reflection of what I have read. As Renee, I assume the question to be regarding fictional works.


Who is your all-time favorite author and why? All time favorite would most likely have to be Charles Dickens. Although I have not read all of his works, the ones I have read I have liked. For example in his Christmas Carol I found his descriptions and way of writing very humorous and engaging. Not to mention the appreciation for the excellent themes in that story

Who was your first favorite author and why? Do you still consider him/her to be among your favorites? Well, let’s see. Like Renee, this one is hard to answer and there is no one author. Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, Little Men, and others were always fun to read. Mysteries by Christian author James Hunter were a favorite of mine and my sisters’. And then of course there was the more popular mysteries of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the Agatha Christie mysteries. At the moment, these still are among my top favorites.

Who is the most recent addition to your list of favorite authors, and why? At one time I read parts of a book called Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. And although I cannot say anything regarding her other works, this book I thoroughly enjoyed. The characters and their development in the story were very intriguing and well crafted. Or so I thought. I must confess this is the only thing I have read remotely close to the era or genre of Jane Austin.

If someone asked you who your favorite authors were right now, which authors would first pop out of your mouth? James Hunter, Charles Dickens, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Louisa May Alcott.
