Books/writers that you love?
#21
RE: Books/writers that you love?
Forgot about Jonathan Franzen. Freedom and The Corrections were excellent examples of contemporary fiction.

I used to have a genre fiction guilty pleasure in Dean Koontz. I haven't read his books in a while, though. When he abandoned the Christopher Snow series for a litany of unnecessary Odd Thomas sequels, I gave up on him.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
