If I have to narrow it down to the top five, probably Uris, Tolstoy, Hugo, Rutherford and Michener.

I am not sure how an author can describe my personality. it seems an odd question...so I will rely on mood to answer. The overall mood in the writings.....(may or may not include my favorites)

Willa Cather- pioneering spirit, insight into human behavior, persistence (characteristics in he writing I feel I share)


Mark Twain - a bit of rebelliousness, annoyance at foolishness, smokin' behind the barn at a young age, love of travel

James Thurber - humor and the evident absurdness of all things made from human tradition

Robert Frost - A love of the outdoors and a peaceful realization that we are....just who we are...


Jack London - courage, love of the outdoors & adventure, sense of justice

what's your favorite london & twain?

me - huck finn (hands down) & for london he has a collection of short stories that I like best the title To Build a Fire Maybe?

I think some versions of call of the Wild also have many of these stories appended (as in Call of The Wild & Other Stories)

I loved South Sea tales also, but enjoyed the ones from the Klondike the best

Sylvia Plath
Paul Coelho
Richard Bach
Dr. Seuss... I can't think of a 5th one

Dr Seuss is actually an awesome choice - shows humor, imagination and a good moral for each story


A 5th one? How about Richard Scarry or the guy who wrote the Curious George books?

I've never read anything by Richard Scarry, and I only know of the Curious George cartoons on tv, but I'll make a note to look them up next time I'm at the library.

michener, uris and hugo should definitely be on my list of favorites but the list I made was based on the OP's question describing my personality.


I've read Les Miserables and Hawaii, Sayonara, The Tell and Cetennial all twice

I don't have kids but I do consider myself ageless; nothing is too young or old for me!
