Books play a huge part in my life, and I know a lot of you are avid readers as well. Who are your favorite three authors, and why? It just didn't seem fair to ask you to name one favorite, I couldn't have to save me!
In NO particular order, it changes with my mood:
Charles de Lint. He writes what have been described as "urban fairy tails." He blends myth and legend seamlessly into modern society and brings a sense of magic and wonder to everyday situations. My favorites are the Newford stories and the duo, "Moonheart" and "Spiritwalk."
Krys Radish. She writes about the deep and abiding friendships that women can have and relationships. All sorts of relationships, parent-child, spouse, friends...I told someone very recently that reading one of her books is like crawling into my best friend's arms when the world has slapped me very hard.
Spider Robinson. Spider writes Science Fiction. Spider writes absurd Science Fiction. Spider's books make me laugh hysterically quite often, especially the Callahan's Crosstime Saloon series (this series is OLD, but worth finding). Spider makes puns like my dad used to do, and I adored my dad, so I was immediately intrigued, and quickly hooked. So if you love puns, and the idea of a Native American electrician named "Many Hands" just trips your trigger, try some Spider Robinson.
