I am enjoying it quite a bit. I hope to read the nonfiction account of her life next.<br /><br />Having more of a lunch party would make it easier for me to sit in the background and enjoy the conversation. :-) King's not a particular favorite author of mine (although I have enjoyed some of his work), but I admire him and we share similar tastes in movies and music. Hearing him speak and reading articles by him (not related to his novels), I get the impression he would be a great conversationalist and a fun guy to hang with. I would love to meet J.K. Rowling. Not just to talk about books. She's amazing all around. <br /><br />I would enjoy meeting you too, Maria! Thank you for the mention. Mouse would probably want to come too. Haha<br /><br />I hope you have a great weekend too!

The first female Pinkerton detective? I'm adding it to my Goodreads shelves right away!! <br /><br />Those two opening paragraphs got me interested, too! The prose is magnificent, and the imagery, just PERFECT. Also, the author has somehow managed to convey the scent involved. Amazing.<br /><br />I think I would be tongue-tied myself, when meeting a favorite author for the first time. That would be especially the case with J.K, Rowling, whom I also mentioned in my answer. Of the others you mentioned, I would also like to meet Gaiman and Atwood. Stephen King is too scary for me. As for the others, I am not familiar with them, so I would have to look them up.<br /><br />I also selected some bloggers, one of which is YOU, Wendy! I would greatly enjoy having lunch with you, discussing favorite books, authors, and genres, and, of course, finding out what Mouse was up to!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!! Have a GREAT rest-of-the-weekend!!
