This is a list of writers I enjoy. I’m not necessarily stating that their books are works of genius – maybe I’ve even read some books of theirs I don’t like; – I’m just saying they’re the writers whose works I tend to seek out. If a writer does not appear on the list, then you may assume I have a) never read ’em, or b) dislike ’em (whichever suits you best).
