"Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky,
My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them! How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them."
- Arnold Lobel

Armchair BEA - Dream Panel


Today is the Armchair BEA kickoff!! Want to know more about it?? Visit Armchair BEA Central to link up with a variety of book blogs and learn something new and interesting!!!

I would like to talk about MY dream panel of authors.  Gosh, this is difficult to narrow down to just a few authors!! Even as I write this post, I keep thinking of another author to place on my panel.  I have read so many books as a child and adult that have had such an impact on my life - changing my perspective, affecting my emotions, and just simply providing me a place of respite from the stresses of life.  (This is definitely a dream panel, considering three out of the four authors are no longer living.)


My dream panel of authors would be:  Laura Ingalls Wilder, Frank McCourt, Beverly Cleary, and Anne Frank.

Each one of these authors has provided me with an incredible, unrepeatable reading experience as I lost myself between the cover(s) of their books. My experience with literature was forever changed after reading the words of these authors.

These are the questions I would pose to each author on the panel:
  • What are your favorite pieces of literature?
  • How has the written word (yours or someone else's) changed your life?
  • What advice would you offer to aspiring writers?

Which authors (living or dead) would be on your dream panel? What questions would you ask them?
