Question of the Week:
If you could meet one author, dead or alive, who would it be? (submitted by Kristin @ Lukten av Trykksverte)
*********
My Answer:
I would enjoy meeting Daphne du Maurier.
She is a master at creativity and intrigue. Her characters are authentic. Even though most characters are unlikable, I would want to ask her how she came up with her characters and how she made them the way they are.
I would also like to ask her how she came up with the ideas for her books. :)
Hhmm, interesting question, I would like to meet and talk with C.S. Lewis, an excellent scholar and writer.
ReplyDeleteI will check out your book blogger hop...
He would be good.
DeleteSuch fun to talk to authors isnt' it?
Thanks for stopping, Marja.
I've already met more than I ever dreamed I would!
ReplyDeleteSo true, isn't it?
DeleteThe BEA is a marvelous way to meet them.
Thanks for stopping, Kathy.
I would love to meet either Stephen King or Haruki Murakami. Murakami would be really interesting I think because he's so quiet and not really in the public eye.
ReplyDeleteI don't know who Haruki Murakami it.
DeleteI don't read Stephen King's book, but he would be an interesting person to chat with.
Thanks for stopping, Ti.
Oh, that's a GREAT choice, Elizabeth! Although I didn't mention her in my post (there are SO many TERRIFIC authors, as you know) I would love to be able to meet her as well! I've only read one of her books -- "Rebecca" -- and she is definitely a writer of great importance. I need to read more of her novels!
ReplyDeleteHeck, I think I'll go back and add her name to my post! Thanks for nudging my memory!!
Enjoy your weekend, and Happy Reading (and Hopping)!! <3 <3 :) :)
Oh! I don't think I have ever heard of Daphne du Maurier. What is your favorite work? I'll have to add it to my TBR!
ReplyDeleteRebecca is the best IMO (and it's the most famous).
DeleteI'm with Erica I haven't heard of Daphne du Maurier but I'd love some recommendations!
ReplyDeleteStart with Rebecca. :)
DeleteOoh goody yes! Daphne du Maurier! I haven't read all her work, but Rebecca is one of those books I finished in one sitting. And I have a buddy read with Katherine @ I wish I lived in a library with My cousin Rachel in June!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend Elizabeth!
Dorothy Dunnett. Though I'd be so intimidated I don't know what I'd say.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice. Rebecca is wonderful. I love all versions of it: the book, the Hitchcock film, the stage adaptation, and the Austrian musical!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to read any of her books, I'm afraid to say. In fact, I had never heard of her until I started blogging nearly 11 years ago, can you believe it? Such a crime! I do plan to read at least one of her books this year. I've heard such good things about her books. Thank you for sharing, Elizabeth! I hope you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteI have never read Rebecca! I know, that's terrible. I even have the audiobook. I need to listen to it soon. :)
