Who's your favourite author, why, and whats your favourite of their work?
Yay, first question! *clapshandsinglee* Thank you for indulging me :) But such a hard one too!
I would have to say as far as poets go, William Blake is the standout. I don't really have a good reason why. One of my favourite movies ever is Dead Man, and I think just the way his poetry and themes was worked into that gave me such a deep love of his work. And W.B. Yeats, after seeing the movie Equilibrium (also one of my favourites).
As far as novel authors go, I don't really have a standout favourite. I went through a F. Scott Fitzgerald stage recently, but I wouldn't say he was a favourite. I don't really make that much time to sit down and read, so that's probably why poetry is sticks out more when I think of favourites. I went through a Twilight phase, but I don't really classify her as a favourite or great author, she just wrote an amazing hook.
In terms of favourite works, I don't really have any firm standouts either, more just particular lines that stick with me from various works.
Oooh, Shakespeare! I can't believe I nearly forgot. I know it sounds like a cliche, but I love pretty much all his works that I know. The St Crispin's Day speech is amazing stuff, not to mention Romeo & Juliet and Titus and Hamlet...the list goes on.
