Here's
some of my favorite writers, although quite honestly it does not come close
to exhausting the list of writer's whom i enjoy reading.
The Beats
I really like the Beat writers, William
S. Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, and Allen Ginsberg. I really enjoy reading
their work and continually return to it, always finding something in it.
Lewis Carroll
Lewis Carroll is just very cool. His work, while aimed at children can
be enjoyed just as much by adults, much like Bugs Bunny Cartoons, the Asterix
comics from France, or MAD Magazine.
I have always enjoyed science fiction/fantasy, or whatever it is called.
It is a genre of fiction that is in some respects more gratifying than
the typical stuff found in fiction sections in libraries or on college
reading lists. They tend to go beyond the day-to-day existence of the world,
exploring the human condition in other-worldly situations. Sometimes though
the other-world that is being explored is right here within our own. Listed
below are some of my favorite writers.
Strange and Unusual
Stuff Here Note: I have yet to read everything here but it does look
interesting in terms of linguistics. There is also a discussion of Umberto
Eco's book, The Name of the Rose.
