The English Teacher Reflects: 25 Favorite Authors, 4 Books Each - Page 2

As our Maverick English Teacher approaches retirement, he thinks about authors whose work he returns to again and again. Here are 25 of his favorite authors and 4 representative works of each of them. The list includes recognized classics, serious, literary mainstream fiction, and popular category and genre storytelling. The list is personal and idiosyncratic, and is deliberately restricted to novels and short fiction.
