quick book meme
.. because I really should be talking about politics but thinking about politics makes me feel more depressed about it than I feel already. So, meme stolen from wandersfound, because I should be writing a thesis and I need procrastination material.
The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets included) who have influenced you and will always stick with you. List the first 15 you can recall in no more than 15 minutes, and they don't have to be listed in order of relevance to you.
1. George Orwell
2. Stephen King
3. E. M. Forster
4. Emily Bronte
5. Alexandre Dumas
6. Nick Hornby
7. Michael Chabon
8. Margaret Atwood
9. Franz Kafka
10. John Steinbeck
11. Vladimir Nabokov
12. J. R. R. Tolkien
13. Paul Verlaine
14. Javier Marìas
15. Primo Levi
(Honorable mentions: T.S. Eliot who actually should have maybe made the list but it didn't happen, Stendhal, Neil Gaiman, Kurt Vonnegut and Edgar Allan Poe. I should feel bad for the lack of Italian people in this list, but I guess I'll put a remedy to that next time. Also influencing is not the same thing as liking, but whatever. XD)
Ugh seriously someone inject some motivation in me. I actually like what I'm doing. I can write in a pretty decent Italian and I can even make footnotes right. And apparently I didn't make mistakes with the bibliography. Why am I procrastinating so much? *sigh* *goes to re-read another bunch of Kant biographies to add stuff into chapter one*
