Here’s a dumb game. If you were forced to, for the rest of your life, read only authors whose last name started with a letter of your choice, which letter do you choose? Which letter gets you the best library?
There’s a few factors to consider. Is it pure volume–who has the most good or better authors? Is it peak quality and density–that is, if you’ve got 5 truly spectacular authors, is that enough?
I submit for consideration the letter M:
* Cormac McCarthy
* Toni Morrison
* Carson McCullers
* Haruki Murakami
* David Mitchell
* Gabriel Garcia Marquez
* Alan Moore!
* Alice Munro
* good ol’ George Martin
