My first social media chain letter - courtesy of Gary Schirr - but the topic is irresistible. 15 literary influencers in 15 minutes. 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.) Here are mine: 1. Thomas Mann 2. Vladimir Nabokov (huh, apparently hes on FB - or his ghost is) 3. Rex Stout 4. Douglas Adams 5. John Grisham 6. Brian Haig 7. Earle Stanley Gardner (whom Ill never forgive for making me want to go to law school) 8. Graham Green 9. Lion Feuchtwanger 10. Alexander Pushkin 11. Alexandre Dumas 12. Robertson Davies 13. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 14. Margaret Atwood 15. Jerome K. Jerome (He should be No. 1 on this list - I reread Three Men in a Boat a hundred times!) Who are yours - Margaret, Tamsin, Dina, Scott, Herrick, Kristen, Cassie, Angus, Cynthia, Christopher Blume?
