I’m usually out of breath with laughter whenever I read Christopher Moore. He’s probably one of the bigger influences on my own writing style, but I couldn’t even aspire to be as funny as he is.

>> Jo, Practical Demonkeeping was the first CM I read and is still my favorite of his

What about (i don’t no the accurate english name) Biff’s bible? It’s my favorit. One of the best books ever written. So much laughs inside

I adore Atwood. I’ve read Handmaid’s Tale about once a year since I first read it.

Her is my contribution to the game:

Lol! I love it, Jo! You’ve got the right ide. Now I hope you’ll do a whole post on it and list it with the meme after I post it tomorrow. That was we can all read each other’s ideas and share a little primo writing!

Okay, here goes, and don’t laugh! I’m easily wounded!
Sometimes a blog is like an exotic, found egg, you hope for a rare and beautiful bird who’ll eat from your hand, but sometimes you get a crocodile who snaps off your fingertip.

Jo, Practical Demonkeeping was the first CM I read and is still my favorite of his. I love, love, love that book! And John Irving - yeah, I have quite a few of his. Good stuff! I’ll have to look for the others you mentioned.

Hope you’ll do the little writing exercise and join the fun!

Wow! Christopher Moore’s first book “Practical Demonkeeping” is one of my all time favorites! My paperback copy looks like it’s been to Baghdad and back. I keep the hardcover copy in my “Shrine To Great Books”,(sounds impressive, but it’s really just a special shelf in my book case) I also love Anne Tyler, especially her earlier books like “Accidental Tourist”, and can’t forget John Irving, his early books are hilarious! Have you ever read Donna Tart? Her book, “The Little Friend”, is another book on my list of all time favorites, her books are very atmospheric and her characterizations are always dead on. JO
