Well, that's true when the author is any good. I know only a few readers who are bold enough to go from genre to genre or author to author with ease. Usually, when I like an author, I try to find anything by that writer. Chasing the dragon in that way tends to be disappointing. If I were braver, I would be able to move from writer to writer with ease. <br /><br />Thank you for being so interesting.Susan Malterhttp://isabelshayle.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918571665206465367.post-10871708298771384512012-07-26T12:26:16.870-04:002012-07-26T12:26:16.870-04:00good to hear from you Parrish. we're going to...good to hear from you Parrish. we're going to try and have a better balance going forward. but I wonder, and this is simply based on my own circumstantial experiences: are men more inclined to read men authors rather than women authors? and is the inverse of this true for women and women authors? anyone have any thoughts on this?aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06802658404882075467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918571665206465367.post-25062323285895846712012-07-20T17:38:04.955-04:002012-07-20T17:38:04.955-04:00just done a rough count on my blog & although ...just done a rough count on my blog & although I have a few more female writers (11)it would appear based on the amount of posts written I'm just as guilty.@parridhlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793548943992250238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918571665206465367.post-70454079721562110662012-07-20T17:00:28.946-04:002012-07-20T17:00:28.946-04:00Oo oo oo ...

Christina Stead is one of my all time favorites, and I have an abiding appreciation for Virginia Woolf, even if she does not yet appear in these pages. As a matter of fact, I'm looking forward to posting on Madeleine Albright's Prague Winter in the near future.Patrick (at The Literate Man)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05126952182728811711noreply@blogger.com
