My list of favorite three writers has but two names. I could not decide who I would put in the 3rd position.
1. W.E.B. Griffin - read every book he has written. He writes in series, and I suggest you follow the order of each series. I loved each one of them. I started reading The Corps which was recommended to me by a West Point grad/salesman I was dealing with years ago. His first name on his list was Griffin, and it has become my first name.
Sadly, Griffin passed away a few years ago.
2. Tom Clancy - my roommate from university days gave me Patriot Games as a birthday gift. I read it, loved it, and subsequently went through all his books published before and every book since. He wrote many books I thoroughly enjoyed, and about as many have been published in his name since his death in 2013.
3. I am undecided. Both writers above, I bought their book the moment it hit the shelf for sale. Right now, I have one other writer I can make that claim, but I would not say it is my top 3rd choice. Lee Child, with the Jack Reacher series, again I buy them the moment they hit the shelf.
I also enjoy the Jack Reacher series on one of the streaming services that has had I believe three years produced from his books.
Still looking for that writer to make my #3 writer. When I was young, and in school, I would have listed Kurt Vonnegut. I enjoyed reading them when I was young, all his books up to Breakfast of Champions, but I sort of tired of his writing about that time. But I did enjoy his books back then. I held from that time Cat's Cradle as one of my favorite books, but I read it again in 2007, some 30+ years after reading it the 1st time, and I was questioning why I held it in such high regard. So, we do change with time in terms of our choices and beliefs.
