Top 12 Authors - Possibly

    I made a claim the other day that of my favorite 12 authors of all time, perhaps six of them were British. I think that might be true. I told it to a younger man who is born of a British father.

    In no particular order:

    John Steinbeck (U.S.) 1

    George Orwell (U.K.) 2

    C.S. Lewis (U.K) 3

    Arthur C. Clarke (U.K) 4

    Lee Child (U.K.) 5

    Michael Connelly (U.S.) 6

    Chaim Potok (U.S.) 7

    Isabel Allende (Chile) 8

    James Alexander Thom (U.S.) 9

    Jeff Shaara (U.S.) 10

    Paul Theroux (U.S.) 11

    John Grisham (U.S.) 12

    Yes, give or take... 

    Lot of Brits...
