I can't get enough of Alice Sebold.

But Anne Rice's earlier work is quite nice.

Well, I have to say my favorite living female writer is J. K. Rowling, with Stephenie Meyer in a close second. I think that makes my age very clear.

This will all be moot once Sarah Palin 'writes' her book.

"She only wrote one book, but that was enough."

The same can be said for Margaret Mitchell.

Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

Yeah, if you had to write Gone with the Wind, it would be your only book too!
