yes course ab dr. bloom hair dental
surgeon it takes a lot of talent to
write something worth reading it’s a
surefire sign of genius if your work is
being read for years to come I’m sorry
to disappoint mr. Crawford’s but I do
not have a ready opinion I suspect
you’re almost entirely composed of radio
opinions not shared welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten
classic english-language authors I would
like you to drop this in the midst of
the filthiest manure for this list we’ve
ranked the best and most prolific novel
writing authors whose works were
initially published in English that
means writers like Homer are out as he
wrote in ancient Greek Edgar Allen Poe
is out as he was more known for his
short stories and Shakespeare is out as
he wrote primarily poetry and for the
stage number 10 James Joyce oh why can’t
you go and kiss a man with him marrying
him first I wish some manner that would
take me sometimes when he’s there kiss
me in his arms we head to the Emerald
Isle first and to the fine city of
Dublin in particular James Joyce is
widely recognized as one of the most
influential modernist writers of all
time my client is an infant a poor
foreign immigrant who started scratch as
a stowaway and is now trying to turn an
honest penny
a key figure within the avant-garde
scene that was erupting in Europe around
the 1920s Joyce is known for his short
story collection Dubliners and the
novel’s a portrait of the artist as a
young man and Finnegan’s Wake he died
when he was only seventeen isn’t it a
terrible thing to die so young as that
however Ulysses is Joyce’s masterpiece
well is that golden Kurt sinestro
crueler one a dense epic stream of
consciousness account of one day in the
life of protagonist Leopold Bloom it’s
filled with parallels to Homer’s Odyssey
but is a literary legend in its own
right
all the time without me and ever shall
be world without end
number 9 Jane Austen no this is my fault
to prevent it all this many by being
open my sisters if Joyce led the
modernists then Jane Austen stood out a
century earlier among the romantics
Austen’s is a reputation that has grown
and grown with the passing of time
during her own lifetime Austen was well
received by critics but there was
nothing like the Jay Knight fan culture
that exists today my behavior at Norland
was very wrong but I convinced myself
that you felt any friendship and that it
was my heart alone that I was risking
with four novels published before she
died Sense and Sensibility Pride and
Prejudice Mansfield Park and Emma
Austen’s depictions of landed gentry and
lovestruck ladies will live on for years
more to come but there are two things I
want very much to know one is how much
money your uncle laid down to bring this
about on the other how am I ever to
repay him number eight
William Faulkner even though I had laid
down my life he would save me the first
american writer to make our list
William Faulkner cerebral complex work
is strongly identified with the American
South what happens if we stop walking
why do you mean what happens well do you
run away Pinzon what we stop though well
what do you say you me go my trailer
right here sit down relax and Epico a
Mississippi man himself he created yot
Napa Tawfik County as a place in which
the action for novels like the sound and
the fury
and As I Lay Dying could unfold maybe
it’ll be better for you it’s quiet down
there without all of the bother so what
you think I am ha ha ha
not be better for you dog better better
a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner this
versatile writer is perhaps most known
for his attention to detail especially
to diction accent
and cadence in the modernist world
minimalism was rife but for Faulkner the
richness of the text was key yes Jason
you raised me bad me you put the books
in my hands and all the other things
you’re congratulating yourself about but
oh my friend you’re not done with me yet
not by a long shot
Jason number seven Kurt Vonnegut an
American writer of a slightly later
generation now but one whose works are
considered classics all the same
Omaha Pilgrim you killed me pilgrim you
son of a bitch you call my mom and dad
in Pittsburgh see you tell him I died
and that you killed me Kurt Vonnegut was
working in a post World War two
environment during which all eyes were
set on the future and many were at least
a little bit scared about what they saw
mr. pillar we have visited 31 inhabited
planets in the universe we have studied
reports on a hundred more and only on
earth is there any talk of free will
cat’s cradle is a notable example of
Vonnegut dismantling the newfound
technological age but he knew not to
forget the past as well the
semi-autobiographical war laden
slaughterhouse-five is arguably the
standout work in this icon of
countercultures body of work how does it
end well we’re experimenting with new
fuels a tralfamadorian test pilot panics
presses the wrong button and the whole
universe disappears but you have to stop
them if you know this can’t you keep the
pilot from pressing he has always
pressed it number 6 Virginia Woolf
the more we consider matter the less
able we are to grasp it our analysis is
destructive from to the lighthouse to
mrs. Dalloway from Orlando to a Room of
One’s Own Virginia Woolf stood at the
forefront of fiction writing from the
end of the 1920s onward
the times in hope my verse shall stand
praising I was a central figure within
the world-famous Bloomsbury group of
intellectuals and artists Wolfe worked
out of London and helped shape modern
ideas on feminism and sexuality st. this
no difference at all
just a different six her own severe
depression and mental health problems
eventually led to a tragic suicide in
1941 but Wolf’s writing will remain
relevant for and read by generation
after generation I don’t know what I
feel I know that I loved her once and
that it stayed with me all my life and
colored everything number five
Ernest Hemingway stand up now and go and
we both go stand up Maria remember
you’re me too you’re older we’ll ever be
of me now a leader of the Lost
Generation Ernest Hemingway has to be
considered one of America’s greatest
writers
with a farewell to arms for Whom the
Bell Tolls and the Old Man and the sea
he created a fervent following and
earned himself a Pulitzer Prize in 1953
and a Nobel Prize in 1950 for a self
fashioned man’s man
he was proof that literature wasn’t just
for pacifists and sensitive types
however like Wolfe he also had problems
within his own head and committed
suicide
in 1961 a great talent gone too soon and
the boat began to move slowly off toward
the northwest the old man leaned back
against the pool the fish moves steadily
and they travel slowly on the calm water
number four
Mark Twain hey what are you doing here
you wouldn’t tell me if I was to tell
you all right I run off Jim I had to
hook I had two dubbed by William
Faulkner as the father of American
literature this guy certainly sets some
standard for North American writers and
I’ve got only one person to think and
that’s you hook you know why I’m doing
it don’t you
I don’t know why you’re doing it but
still in all you doing it I don’t figure
that even an abolitionist could do a
better job than you doing hook don’t you

best known for The Adventures of Tom
Sawyer and subsequently of Huckleberry
Finn Twain moved between genres and
subjects throughout his career now

a lover of Science and Technology he
helped develop sci-fi with a Connecticut
Yankee in King Arthur’s Court he was a
friend to presidents and royalty as well
as a historian an eccentric eclectic man
his life and death coincided with rare
sightings of Halley’s Comet his wit and
character were appropriately
out-of-this-world gosh I was always told
that abolitionists folks were low down
dirty sort of folk no no I wish you
could meet you I’m number three John
Steinbeck what do you want with a dead
mouse anyway I would dissipating it with
the fingers while he was walking along
yeah well you ain’t pet no mice when you
walk with me with a bibliography that
includes 16 novels one of the most
impressive things about John Steinbeck
is that the vast majority of those
novels could be considered classics this
man was both pioneering
and prolific I’m right here to tell you
mister there ain’t nobody gonna push me
off my land my grandpa took up this land
70 years ago my call was born here we
was all born on it and some of us was
killed on it he is probably most known
for the Pulitzer prize-winning The
Grapes of Wrath which is sold an
astounding 14 million copies but anybody
who’s ever studied English in high
school is likely to have come across his
characters George and Lennie in Of Mice
and Men I’ll remember about the rabbits

affects us in our adulthoods we always
hope the ending will have changed and IV

attend Julia not to me with 1984 and
Animal Farm in particular George Orwell
became one of the world’s most
influential writers so important
is he the word Orwellian was invented to
describe anything that bore a likeness
to his work all hands are criminals and
no head will be fed what any animal seen
