Michael’s Favorite Books
Michael wrote back:
I really have favorite authors and not just favorite books. If you need to
know, “Yeah, but which book should I pick, since s/he wrote about a
hundred,” I’ve listed a suggestion.
Edward Abbey (Fool’s Progress)
Zora Neale Hurston (Their Eyes Were Watching God)
David Sedaris (new! Naked)
Willa Cather (My Antonia)
Vladimir Nabokov (Pnin)
Graham Greene (The Third Man)
E.B. White & James Thurber (Misc. Essays)
And when I need to pick up some poetry, it’s usually Ogden Nash or Robert
Service.
