Who is favorite author, novelist, columnist and story writer?

Wow, great question.

Historian has to be Antony Beevor, I’ll read anything from him. He has a new book coming out on the battle of Arnhem in WWII, it’s in my list.

Novelist? Hard to say. I don’t read a lot of novels. GRR Martin, perhaps, based on the fact that I’m anxiously awaiting the next Song of Ice and Fire novel.

I never read LeCarre until I took Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with me on a trip last year. I loved it. Can’t believe I’d never read him before.

Thomas Hardy - The Wessex novels. Particularly Far from the Madding crowd.-Ancient.
Mike Gayle - Modern day stories about life lessons from a guys perspective.- Modern
David Aaronovich; Andrew Rawnsley; Michael White; Kate Adie; Paul Staines (Guido Fawkes) - All entertaining. - Columnists

I like Tolkien (the Lord of the Rings World). Eça de Queiroz, Sir Arthut Connan Doyle, and... the guys that first wrote Star Wars. Their Universe

Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, Douglas Adams.. sooo many good ones now I can't think of them!....

Novelist: the late John D. McDonald.

I never pay attention to authors except if they r exceptional I liked Nicholas Sparks when he was younger I didn't like his newest release
