Welcome to all Book Blog Hoppers
I will follow back all who follow me-
Every Friday Jennifer of Crazy For Books hosts The Book Blogger Hop-The Book Blogger Hop is a great chance to meet new to you bloggers, find some new blogs to follow and gain some great readers for your own blog. Every week about 275 or so bloggers from all over the world participate. I have found some excellent new blogs this way and gained some wonderful readers. I follow about 500 book blogs and am always happy to find more. If you follow me I will follow you.
My blog for the last few months has been one third Asian literature, one third classics and one third short stories but I do read contemporary fiction also and even some YA once in a while. I have various reading projects I am working on also. My latest one is South Asian Short Stories. I am very into Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf.

Every week Jennifer asks participants in the Book Blogger hop to answer a question-here is this week's question-
Every week the host of the Hop asks us to answer a reading related question-here is this weeks question
“WHO IS THE ONE AUTHOR THAT YOU ARE DYING TO MEET?"
Limiting my answer to living writers, I think I would like to meet Kenzaburo Oe, the great Japanese author.

Hi new follower here, I agree its really hard to just narrow down one answer to this . I am half and half majority of the time but mostly the characters have to grab me.

I still have to write my post but I like the question. I think if the plot is strong enough I don't mind so much if the characters aren't that well developed.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, Mel!
Hopping by to say "hi"! My answer to the question would be "it depends on the book".
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteHopping by and following through. Great giveaway thanks! Make sure you check out mine!

I'm a total character gal. I love watching people change and mature as they move through the plot. My partner David is totally plot-driven--and it is astonishing to me that we so often love the same books. I think authors who do one really nicely often do the other brilliantly as well
ReplyDeleteHi There!
ReplyDeleteI'm an old follower hopping through! This week's question was tough to answer, wasn't it? Hope you have a great weekend. I can be found at Sugarbeat's Books
It is hard to say but I would lean toward Characters in part because I don't mind books that many people consider lacking in plot. I like books that go into the interior of a person and show how and why that person is behaving, changing, etc.
ReplyDeleteGood question.
I would say that it is probably characters in part because I tend to like books that others seem to find lacking in plot. I like interior books that delve deep inside of someone and show why they are the way they are and how they are changing with circumstance.
ReplyDeletepburt-thanks for your very interesting comments
ReplyDeleteLifetime Reader-I am not sure I can say for sure what my preferences are but it is a good question

How could I have forgotten to include Haruki Murakami in my response - I'd have to seriously brush up on my Japanese though!
