Attached Link: Who Flips Your Monkey

I saw in the archives that you gave your favorite authors (this started before I joined so I have an excuse for being so late). I was thinking about how my tastes have changed (or not changed) over time. Please forgive this delayed entry into what was called "Who Flips Your Monkey."

In elementary school, I adored Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft and Jules Verne (no, I did not go to elementary school with any of these gentleman).

Can you imagine that my favorite two authors in high school were Agatha Christie and Sax Rohmer? I tell no lies.

In college I went to Ray Bradbury, William Shakespeare, Shirley Jackson, Rod Serling, Isak Dinesen, and Charles Dickens.

As a young adult I liked Ruth Rendell and Patricia Highsmith.

What is very odd is that I have no favorites now (unless you consider I still have a fondness for my past favorites), and haven't had any new candidates for the last few years, though I do have favorite individual books (such as "Stellaluna" by Janell Cannon and "The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers," by Christopher Vogler).

I don't know if that is really odd or I just somehow think it may be.
