Some cracking authors mentioned so far yet for sheer lyricism Laurie Lee is a favourite of mine. So as he hasn´t been mentioned so far I´ll give him a shout.
I´m actually reading `A picture of Dorian Gray´in a joint Spanish and English text right now to try to improve my Spanish. I must say because it´s such a time consuming process and the concentration it takes I´m getting to really savour what an amazing writer Wilde was.
( And the worst thing about trying to do this at my age is that you struggle learn maybe five new words a day and the following day you have forgotten at least six. Age, its a fecker).
