PLEASE TRY AND TELL US

1.WHAT TYPE OF NOVELS THEY WRITE ?

2. ARE THEY BELIEVABLE ?

3. AND WHAT YOU LIKE ABOUT THEM ?

What language?

Wow, what a question! I can't make that comparison because I don't speak that many languages. Novels lose subtleties and nuances when they are translated.

Isaac Asimov has to be the most prolific writer, ever. I have read many of his books, both fiction and non-fiction.

Many were sci-fi and industrious geeks have spent years making some of those things come to fruition.

That's one of the things I like about his novels. I would not, however, consider him the best novelist.

I've read many books by Nobel winners but they're not the ones I find myself reading again and again. Some have been beautifully written and they're fine books, just not as enjoyable as my personal favorites.

Excellent question!

I would have to say John Stienbeck. He wrote about life during the Depression era. Of the countless books I've read by choice or had to read because of school, I would say that "Of Mice and Men" is one of the greatest novels ever written. The Grapes of Wrath comes in at a close second, but please know that these books are not for the light of heart, nor are they meant solely for entertainment value...they exist because they describe a type of New Testament sensibility battered by an Old Testament reality. Life does not always cooperate, nor does it have a ride-into-the-sunset ending, and Steinbeck captured life's masculine, knock-your-teeth-out reality that can't always resolve itself...even when one's morality is exercised at its greatest potential.
