I was a huge J.M. Barrie fan as a kid, as most English children are.
There's an epigram tacked to my office bulletin board, pinched from a magazine -- "Wanting to meet an author because you like his work is like wanting to meet a duck because you like pâté.
I wrote a fan e-mail to Michael Chabon.
I'm a big fan of David Sedaris; I love all his books and have them all on audio and e-reader, in addition to hard copies.
I have a huge author crush on Stephen King. Have never met him. Would probably embarrass myself. But it would be worth it.
I had been an abject fan of Robert Stone since the early eighties, when I borrowed a copy of 'A Flag for Sunrise' to read on a plane to Rome. I was twenty-something, with a first novel under my belt.
I'm about to read Scott Turow's 'Innocent.' I've been hungry for this book since he first told me it was in the works. I'm a serious Turow fan.
My favorite book is anything by Kurt Vonnegut - he's my literary hero. I got to meet him several times, which was a great thrill for me. I don't really remember what we talked about.
I'm a big Michael Lewis fan. That said, my favorite Lewis book was 'The Blind Side.'
I've read all of Sarah Waters's novels which have been translated into Korean.
I was obsessed with Philip K. Dick.
I am a huge fan of Amitav Ghosh's work. I wish I could meet him.
