Five Famous Men Writers....

Last week, I wrote about five famous women authors I’d like to scrapbook with. I should have mentioned that these women are all still alive. I had a hard enough time picking from all the women writers who are alive—if I added in the deceased ones, I couldn’t possibly keep it to five. I had just the opposite experience with the men writers. Most of the male writes I love happen to be long gone— D.H. Lawrence, Somerset Maugham, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and, of course, William Shakespeare.
Here’s the list of men writers I’d like to sit down and crop with:
1. Stephen King. Can you imagine? Just what would he come up with for a scrapbook? It might just scare me half to death—but in a very fun way.
2. Garrison Keillor. On the opposite end of the spectrum, of course, Garrison would, perhaps calm us down, make us laugh, and engage us with stories of folks from Lake Wobegone.
3. Nick Bantock, I’ve always been obsessed by his books. Remember Griffin and Sabine? They are artistically rendered books—very much like sophisticated scrapbooking. He would elevate our gathering.
4. Dave Barry. By this point we need some deep belly laughs.
5. TC Boyle. Yeah. He paints such fascinating worlds with his prose. Can you imagine what his scrapbooking would be like? A dark, brooding type would spice things up a bit.

Now that I’ve had my fun, how about you? What famous male writers would you like to scrap with?
