Desert Island Authors
Here’s an oldie but a goody: if you were trapped on a desert island and could only have books that were written by one particular author, who would that author be?
The easy answer might be a present day prolific like Stephen King or James Patterson, but I think I’d go with one of my all time favorites, Paul Auster, for a few different reasons.
- He’s written several great books
- He’s capable of significantly changing his writing style from novel to novel, which would add some nice variety.
- He’s still churning out books (at least three this year by my count).
But that’s just me. Who would you pick?

I would have to say Herman Hess. Definitely one of my favorite authors.

Wow, just one author, that could be harsh.
I hope the rescue plane comes soon! In any case I would have to say Robert Pirsig , because I everytime I read “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” I am a different person and I gain a whole new insight to what he wrote.
Besides I have yet to read Lila , which does look interesting as well, and if I was on a desert island I guess there would have plenty of time.

Without question, it would be ROBINSON CRUSOE

Without question, it would be ROBINSON CRUSOE by Daniel Defoe :-)

I would have to go with Kerouac’s The Town and the City. Who would have thought the emerging Beat could cover the thrill of high school football.

If you count Stephen King, and his other pen name (Richard Bachman), that would probably be my pick. Tons of books to choose from, and not all are horror.
