I Love List-Making!

So, in honor of #AWW on twitter (my latest addiction!) I am making a list of my Top Ten All Time Favorite Authors! These are the ten authors that I would take with me to a deserted island (not in person, of-course, 'cause then it wouldn't be a deserted island- eleven people would be quite a crowd! though ten extremely awesome authors on a deserted island...hmm, that might be the education I need...) any-how, as I was saying- these are my personal creme-de-la-creme.
My list of lists, my best of the best!
Tell me what you think, and remind me of awesome authors I may have forgotten- and do a list of your own to share- I would love to see it, I adore a great list!

Top Ten Authors to Pack in Deserted Island Suitcase


1. George RR Martin
2. Laurie R King
3. Neil Gaiman
4. Garth Nix
5.Philip Pullman
6. Patrick Rothfuss
7. William Shakespeare
8.JK Rowling
9.Jonathan Stroud
10.Holly Black

Wow, Laurie R King is the one and only non-fantasy author! My reading habits are super lop-sided, oh well- that's how i like it!

So please please do your own list and tell me so i can come see it!

...thumbs up on your choices, but add a blank reem of paper, toss in a lifetime supply of pencils, and a decent agent for personal doodlings...just in case:)

Now, see I tried and tried to make that list, but got SO worried I was leaving someone out, and they'd be sad if they ever read it! :)

All guilt issues must be mercilessly subdued! this is list making exercise is all about YOU, what YOU love and want- you You You!
On the other hand I am %10000 CERTAIN that none of the authors on my list are ever going to read this list- touch wood!
