I used to have a mammoth, totally unmanageable list of
young adult books, graphic novels, novels for adults,
and non-fiction here. The truth is that I read so much
that I can't keep the list current so from now on I'm
sticking with my all-time favourites (I hardly ever reread
anything but some of these I've even read twice!) and
a brief list of recommended reading for writers. Oh, and
I couldn''t resist including a jumble of young adult authors
who are writing some really good stuff!
