Aimee Bender (this is a risky one - I might turn out to be a one-legged princess whore who runs away to live with an aging professor while the circus people she left behind stay hot on her heels).<br />3. Raymond Chandler for me too, please. Detective or not, he's a swoony writer.<br />4. Louise Erdrich - no one spins a magical yarn out of laughably flawed people like she does.<br />5. Kevin Huizenga - my favorite graphic novelist and an all-around genius.Kateri Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03356845687208055765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994180.post-52435703551363376332009-07-10T12:43:39.411-05:002009-07-10T12:43:39.411-05:00I want to take out Zadie Smith, and sub in Christo...I want to take out Zadie Smith, and sub in Christopher Moore.

Here are my top 5 in no particular order<br /><br />Stephen E. Ambrose<br /><br />David Halberstam<br /><br />Richard Lawson <br />(His TV recaps on Gawker are friggin' hilarious. He'd be able to make ups some interesting story about my boring life.)<br /><br />Doris Kearns Goodwin<br /><br />and last but not least<br /><br />Isaac Asimov (because I know he likes writing about stars, heyyyyyyyyy-O!!!!1)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04344002322239262856noreply@blogger.com
