Directly inspired by conversations following Kurt Vonnegut's death:

Five Authors I Haven't Read

Toni Morrison - I want to, I even have at least one of her books on my shelf, so I intend to, I just haven't yet.
Terry Pratchett - The enthuiasm with which people - some in my extended family - rave about Pratchett, makes me think I really do need to rectify this gap in my reading.
John Irving - I have no interest in Irving's books, I'd probably like them, but I've never even checked one out of the library.
Carol Shields - Canadian! Female Author! Award Winning! - Again, I've got at least one of her books (Unless) - but have not yet read it.
Salman Rushdie - Rushdie is probably at the top of the I should read this, but haven't yet list.

oh yay! you did it :) the only one up on your list i've read is terry prachett, but only in conjunction with neil gaiman in Good Omens. it's been recommended i see. i may just have to mail you my copy if you don't have your own...*loves on the gaiman/prachett awesomeness*

sometime i can overwhelm myself thinking about all the authors in the world whose work i may never come across. i get anxious thinking about all the possibly fantastic books i might be missing. i think that solidifies my position as a 'book dork' :P

my list's on my lj of course. (because damn it, i love meme's!!!)

'Book Dork' - I think I should put that on my resume as my hobby.
