Hmmm this is tough to choose just one author.

I think I am going to go with Margaret Atwood

Hm... I've never done one of these before, but it sounds interesting.

I nominate William Faulkner.

EDIT: Ech, just saw voting had ended. Suspend that then.

You can now vote for the authors you would like to read in 2013. Since there were not enough nominations, I have included those authods nominated during previous years (only the ones made by the members who are still active today).

The poll will remain open until end of November.

You can vote for more than one author.
