Chrstina Rossetti, wow! She had such a tough time, as compared to her brother, the painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and her fiance the painter, James Collinson.

I am with you as far as Jane Austen and Emily Bronte are concerned, LazarusDrealamant. Of the other 19th century writers, I must add the incomparable Anthony Trollope.

The 20th century authors I included in the blog profile were: David Lodge, Anita Brookner, Bruce Chatwin, AS Byatt, Sinclair Lewis, John Irving, Meir Shalev, Bernice Rubens and Julian Barnes. Ohhhhh and David Malouf. I love his writing!!

Vladimir Nabokov. His prose is SO BEAUTIFUL.

also david sedaris because he makes me laugh in inappropriate places (airports, waiting rooms, etc...)
