I appreciate the writers who have compassion, make us smile, point out our follies, rage at us when needed, console us and show us that there is hope. The writers who know what it is to be human and help make it all just a bit clearer.
A short list:
Mark Twain
Terry Pratchett
Anne Lamott
Tony Hendra
Joseph Campbell
Shakespeare (Wm)
W.B. Yeats
Charles Dickens
Jane Austen
Bill Bryson
Christopher Moore
Donald E. Westlake
Dorothy Sayers
Many, many more
