...anonymous...



Who’s your favorite author that other people are NOT reading? The one you want to evangelize for, the one you would run popularity campaigns for? The author that, so far as you’re concerned, everyone should be reading–but that nobody seems to have heard of. You know, not JK Rowling, not Jane Austen, not Hemingway–everybody’s heard of them. The author that you think should be that famous and can’t understand why they’re not…

I tend to read books from known authors though sometimes, I read from an unfamiliar one. Its a shame that I only resort to books the authors of whom I'm not acquainted with when I am in dire need to read something.


I can't think of any author that others are not reading. On the contrary, there are authors that are so popular  but I haven't read  yet. I made this discovery when I had the chance to read book blogs. Pity me...

Picking an author who was "unknown" was difficult for me as well.

Well at least now you'll be able to find a bunch of new authors! My favorite is at The Crowded Leaf.
