Compiling a list of favourite authors is a project doomed to failure. The books we think we love the most can just as quickly become hidden by shifting sands. Newer books emerge as others dissapear. And how do we compare fiction with biography, historical works, poets or eastern wonders. At best, you take a snapshot, reflect the tastes of the moment; then instantly regret your choices, experience guilt over the treasures omitted.
