Looking for books to read. I enjoy fiction. Just finished reading all of Ron Rash's books that are at my college library, and I really like his writing. What are your favorite authors? Any reading suggestions? Thanks.

Gotta go with Joseph Heller Catch-22 right of the bat. Greatest book written in the English language, in my opinion. Ambrose Bierce, probably my favorite author. His war stories are particularly good. He was an anti-war hippie, but in the 1860s rather than the 1960s. Way ahead of his time–we’re probably still not there yet. Also wrote great horror and humor and horror humor. It’s hilarious when somebody dies lol. For technical stuff (as in, I like the way they write more than what they write), I like William S. Burroughs and Hemingway. For anybody who considers themselves a writer: READ HEMINGWAY, as in how he writes. Don’t even pay attention to the story. it’s probably about bulls or war or some manly activity anyway, but I love his writing philosophy: your words have too many syllables, your sentences too many words, your paragraphs too many sentences, and your stories too many paragraphs–that’s what I get out of it haha. I love a lot of others, but those are my main dudes.
