Book Sand Worm

Day 13 - Your favorite writer

I don’t like these “pick one” things. I read enough that of course I have more than one favorite author. So let me at least do a top four. With a couple of my favorite books of theirs listed, as well.

Stephen King (It, Lisey’s Story)
Kurt Vonnegut (Slaughterhouse 5, Mother Night)
Bret Easton Ellis (American Psycho, Imperial Bedrooms)
Tanith Lee (Tales of the Flat Earth, Volkhavaar)

Volkhavaar is an interesting book. I don't agree with the raving reviews, but it's still worth a read. The style is like an oral tale, a story of good versus evil, told by an elder for the young ones. And written down word for word. While reading it I already said that especially the first chapter with Shaina reminded me of these old Russian movies where they took an old folk tale and turned it into a movie. That style is later lost, but overall the book keeps this feeling of written oral history.
