The Rules: Dont take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets included) whove influenced you and that will always stick with you. List the first 15 you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. Tag at least 15 friends, including me, because Im interested in seeing what authors my friends choose. (To do this, copy this intro, paste the intro into the body and start your list.) 1. defo, Dr. Seuss - still occasionally saves my life 2. the ever-lovely Colm Tóibín 3. Alice Walker (thank you to all who came) 4. Antoine de St-Exupery (aka Le Petit Prince) 5. Albert Camus 6. Franz Kafka 7. Fyodor Dostoevsky 8. Margaret Mitchell (yep, Gone With the Wind was that important to me) 9. Lucy Maud Montgomery (not Anne, so much as Emily & others) 10. William Butler Yeats 11. John Millington Synge 12. Jean de Brunhoff (aka Babar) 13. Irving Yalom (from philosophical When Nietzsche Wept etc. to fun Lying on the Couch) 14. Maeve Binchy (Im allowed!)(I hide them with the Patrick Taylors) 15. David Bowie (a musician & performer too, sure, but also a great weaver of mythologies and parables that for many years made more sense to me than anything else my psyche had to hang onto as guidelight)
