I don't have anything to report today, as I did the sick thing in earnest last night.

Sleep=Yummy.

However, I do have a question: who is your favorite dead writer? I personally love Alexandre Dumas and Jane Austen. It's fashionable to emulate both of these writers in current fiction. I've yet to find anyone to pull off more than a surface level Dumas (witty repartee and sword waving do not a Dumas make!), but I found a good emulation of Austen in Sorcery and Cecelia, by [livejournal.com profile] 1crowdedhour and Patricia Wrede, who if she is on live journal, I do not know the user name of.

At any rate, I thought I would pose the musical questions: Who is your favorite dead author, and which novel of their do you like the best.

For me:

Alexandre Dumas Twenty Years After (Count of Monte Cristo is a better book. I know it!)

Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice (it's the most spritely. However, I think there's a lot of good in Persuasion as well, which speaks to me more at this stage of life.)

Your own answers I await with eagerness. Remember, dead.
