Excellent! We share many of these writers. Now I'm tempted to steal this idea for my own blog, lol!
ReplyDeleteI stole it from Sean Taylor and he didn't mind. Steal away!
DeleteI see we have quite a few in common, D.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised at all. That's why I like to see lists like these to compare not only similarities but differences.
DeleteKind of shows me the ones I need to give more serious consideration, but about half of them are the same as mine. Plus, I'm weird.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but you're my kind of weird.
DeleteNice list. A lot of great writers on that list.y
ReplyDeleteI've read maybe, maybe, maybe 40% of this list--but I cannot quibble a bit with a single name on this list. LOVE the Chester Himes love. He (first) and Donald Westlake change EVERYTHING for me.
