Has E.B. White been mentioned yet? Elements of Style on the one hand, Stuart Little on the other.
Buffy ,'Chosen'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Didn't James Patterson take a break from thrillers and write a romance?
And John Grisham had that one departure, The Painted House, right?

Are you kidding me?! Why have I never realized that those two E.B. Whites were the same person?
The Matrix has you.

Also essayist, influential New Yorker columnist and co-author with James Thurber of the hysterical Is Sex Necessary?
Terry Pratchett has written YA and childrens' books in the Discworld universe, in addition to the regular novels.
And YA books not in the Discworld universe.
Alice Hoffman wrote a few YA books too, I believe (is too lazy to check).
Right there with ya, Kathy.
Bookmarked "Portrait of Jennie"...but I like P-C's plot. I'm a total sucker for people going into paintings. There's a bit in one of The Dark is Rising books where Will goes into a photograph of an archaelogical dig to get a thing, and that may be my favorite image in a book ever.
I loved Hardy in high school. Voluntarily read all of them, except Jude. Went back to read Jude in my 20s and could not stand it.
That actually happened with me and a lot of authors...it's one of the reasons I think I became a completely different person in college.
Angela Carter wrote adult novels, a number of essays and pieces of literary criticism, and several books for children. Jeanette Winterson writes mostly novels for adults, but she also has a children's book and a new YA novel coming out later this month, about which I am tentatively excited. (Speaking of which, has anyone here read her latest novel, Lighthousekeeping ? Is it any good? I really didn't like the one before that, but I'm tempted to give this one a try, since she used to be one of my very favorite authors.)
