Favorite Authors: Best Loved and Least Liked Works - Page 2

Our maverick English Teacher looks at 50 authors whose work he has read with great interest and pleasure over the years. For each author he has listed 2 books - the book he liked the most followed by the book he liked the least. He does not feel that the books he liked the least are necessarily bad books ( although a couple are pretty bad); they just didn't grab his interest, or they just didn't come up to standard that he expected.
