reverendjack asked: Who are a few of your favorite authors? seems like a very 'tumblrbot-esque' question, but i was just wondering.

That’s a hard question, as I generally just grab whatever catches my eye at the library (and when I had money, at the bookstore). But I’m a big ALCO! fan so I’ll try to answer.
Weirdly enough, I rarely seek out multiple works by the same writer. It seems a bit easier to think in terms of writers who have made a significant impact on me in one way or another: Kerouac, Dorothy Parker, Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, Scott Westerfeld, Ned Vizzini, Chuck Palahniuk, Kurt Vonnegut, David Levithan, Arthur Nersesian…there’s probably more but I am terrible at remembering names. 

EDIT: OMG how did I forget Langston Hughes?
