Agh, yes, it is that time of year again: back to school! To make things a little easier for you (and to make your friends a lot jealous), we’re giving away a super sweet lunch-box set. Our exclusive literary kit includes:
- An Edgar Allan Poe lunch box
- A pack of Shakespeare insult gum
- A tin of Jane Austen bandages
- A whole bunch of neon eNotes pencils
- And a FREE pass to eNotes for 1 year!
Never have bad breath or lose a pencil again
My lunch requires grace under pressure! Love the concise prose of Ernest Hemingway.
My favorite is Neil Gaiman. There are so many reasons I love his work, but the most important one, I guess, is the kindness I find in all of them. Even in darker, more violent works there is a little taste of good old adventure books I loved as a child. My second favorite will have to be Dennis Lehane. His mysteries and historical fiction are brilliant.
Great picks! Neil Gaiman is the best 🙂
Can I pick a poet? Chaucer.

Wally Lamb is a current favorite because of his subject matter and layered story telling style.

I don’t know if I’d call him my favorite, but I’ve been reading a lot of Iain Banks lately.
Oh, how I covet that lunch box! And Jane Austen band-aids?! And Shakespearean insult gum?! But now to your query: I have to say that my true literary love is Neil Gaiman. I love pretty much everything he’s done, from the Sandman comics to his children’s books. Second runner-up? That’s probably a 30-way tie, so I’ll spare you that.
I’m feeling very interrobang-y today apparently.

Jane Austin, I re-read her books every year
