Authors whose books I admire greatly but have to read over and over again because I never quite get a complete understanding of them:
Ellen Raskin
E.L. Konigsburg
Diana Wynne Jones
Henry James
Authors whose books I read over and over because they are transparent to me and show me myself (they feel too close to me to say I admire them greatly…though of course I do):
Beverly Cleary
Jean Little
Daniel Pinkwater
Lois Lowry
Jane Langton
