15 Authors

This is floating around the Facebook universe at the moment. Since it's bookish in nature, I thought I'd go ahead and share it here as well.

*Don't take too long to think about it.
*List fifteen authors (poets included) who've influenced you or who stick with you.
*Select the first fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. No particular order required.

Here are my fifteen:

1. Jane Austen
2. Oscar Wilde
3. Dorothy L Sayers
4. C S Lewis
5. Edna St. Vincent Millay
6. Emily Dickinson
7. Isaac Asimov
8. Ray Bradbury
9. David Lodge
10. Julian Barnes
11. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
12. Carolyn Keene
13. Harper Lee
14. Rainer Maria Rilke
15. Lewis Carroll

Of course, on any given day some of those names may change.
