I'm not sure I've reviewed many by a lot of these popular authors either, it's hard to review books so ingrained in culture! My husband is a big fan of Annie Proulx, he's always urging me to read Accordian Crimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-12432038609958687282011-08-24T00:15:24.304+01:002011-08-24T00:15:24.304+01:00I've never read one of Oates' fiction book...I've never read one of Oates' fiction books. I think I need to, because I like her memoir and her short stories. I have nearly all of Ellis as well, but only reviewed one book on the blog.

I really needed to make a clear, unbiased evaluation of each of the books.. and I think it turned out well.<br /><br />I'm reading Orwell right now! 1984. I'll definitely be reviewing it (since I review all my reads now) - but I read Animal Farm years ago and don't have a review for that one.Roof Beam Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06792884580084363046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-88022271302508050542011-08-23T16:57:13.221+01:002011-08-23T16:57:13.221+01:00Blonde is one of my favorite Oates books!!

Now that you bring it up, there are undoubtedly authors I've also failed to review. For me, it is a feeling of intimidation; I can't possibly review Shakespeare! <br /><br />Hope you will stop by and take a look at my post for this week: <a rel="nofollow">Top Ten Books You Never Wrote a Review For.</a> And don't forget to sign up for the Readerbuzz August Giveaway!Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.com
