My cat loves books, too! (sitting on them when I try to read)
Deals with many moral issues. The short story versions of Ender's Game and Hatrack River are amazing. I also loved The Lost Boys
A compilation of (dead) poets writing in English along with a CD of the authors reading their own works. (Obviously recorded before they were dead)
One of our very funny founding fathers.
Autobiography
Poor Richard's Almanac
Science Fiction writer. Some of my favorite books:
Downbelow Station
Merchanteer's Luck
Tripoint
Hard Burn
Foreigner the series - Foreigner itself feels like she started and dropped 2 books before getting to the story she wanted to tell
You gotta love them vampires!
Vampire Lestat
Interview With a Vampire
Queen of the Damned
Science fiction writer.
Some of her best works:
Lathe of Heaven
Wizard of Earthsea
Compass Rose
basically anything she's written
Magical realism with political messages
House of Dreams
I like her cyber-punk style stuff. She often deals with the topic: "When does Artificial Intelligence become real sentience?" and features characters of all sexual persuasions.
Buring Bright, Trouble and Her Friends, Jazz
Highly recommended stories of generations of native Americans in a community in the Dakotas.
Start with Tracks Nanapush is one of my favorite characters, ever.
Humorist, social commentator
Dean Koontz - boy is he funny. I wish I would have started reading him earlier!
Anne Rice Witching Hour I hope this is more like Vampire Lestat (excellent) than Servant of the Bones (aweful)
not recommended at any price
Anne Rice, Servant of the Bones - when she's not, she's not
Louise Erdrich, Bingo Palace Oh so very disappointing!
