I've felt that connection in our words from the very beginning. :) It really does touch me that you see it, too. <BR/><BR/>Your list is wonderfully diverse, and I can see those influences in your work. You have a wonderfully romantic side (which especially dazzles in your poetry), but also a more keenly scientific perspective, too. It's a unique talent to have that range, I think.<BR/><BR/>And I have to disagree with Bernard. ;) I loved poor, wonderful Jude! Tess, too. In fact, Hardy almost showed up on my list. :) <BR/><BR/>And I'm glad you reminded me of Thomas Mann. Death in Venice is a personal favorite.Sarah Hinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888406261817690010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-75766736333684419202009-03-27T13:18:00.000-04:002009-03-27T13:18:00.000-04:00I like your list very much except for Thomas Hardy...I like your list very much except for Thomas Hardy.

And a wonderful weekend to you. *many hugs*<BR/><BR/>I thought so, <B>Charles</B>. :-) Your mentioning of Carmilla made me start reading it again last night. Although I love all his stories, my favourite of his is “A Strange Event in the Life of Schalken the Painter”.<BR/><BR/><B>Karen</B>, I must admit, I love science fiction. “Somebody else”? – hmmm, I remember seeing Thomas Hardy on your list, but no sf... I’m glad to hear that. :-)<BR/>Le Fanu is an Irish writer, a master of the Gothic art. You can find stories on gutenberg.org. Jean Ray will be more difficult to find. I believe there exists a volume (maybe two) of his short stories translated into English, but even if you read him in French, as I do, his work is very hard to find.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, <B>Cat</B>! :-)<BR/><BR/>Thanks, <B>LW</B>! :-) Yeah, I too had a hard time limiting the list to 25 names.<BR/><BR/><B>Mark</B>, Dickens, certainly, and many others, but I had to stop at 25. :-)Vesperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417602625059442986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-2159597974424032842009-03-27T04:59:00.000-04:002009-03-27T04:59:00.000-04:00Vesper...There is some commonality to what would h...Vesper...There is some commonality to what would have been on a mutual list, Poe, King, Stroker, Dumas, Doyle but what...no Dickens?<BR/><BR/>Grats on finding sisters.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-91409690335692363842009-03-26T21:01:00.000-04:002009-03-26T21:01:00.000-04:00grats v... so well-deserved :Dgreat meme, too... i...grats v... so well-deserved :D<BR/><BR/>great meme, too... i could never list just 25, thoughlaughingwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873675614347328116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-46411975105029339162009-03-26T20:39:00.000-04:002009-03-26T20:39:00.000-04:00Yay!

I haven't found too many sci-fi lovers out here (can't beat a good sci-fi for ethical examinations), so it's good to see that someone else can love Thomas Hardy and Stephen King at the same time! I don't know Jean Ray or Le Fanu, so I thank you for giving me a quest!.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003379181294550035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-74117204232517785602009-03-26T15:29:00.000-04:002009-03-26T15:29:00.000-04:00There's a fair number on your list of influences t...There's a fair number on your list of influences that would be on mine too.
