pantheum vetustate corruptum cum omni cultu restituerunt<\/em><\/p>\n

Welcome to The Mookse and the Gripes Pantheon<\/strong>, a personal list of some of my favorite authors whose work I talk about most often, here and there. My main criterion for compiling this list was this: once I finish a book by the author, I want to read everything that author has written.<\/p>\n

The plan, then,\u00a0is to do just that. This is aspirational and not necessarily something I’m going to fret about as time goes by. For me, this will\u00a0function as a kind of checklist which may be added to periodically as I find I can’t leave an author out of my Pantheon. Links are to reviews I’ve posted on this site. For foreign-language authors, the lists below contain what is available in English translation, though the dates to the side are original publication dates.<\/p>\n

I got this idea from Kim at Reading Matters (here is her list of “My Favourite Authors”<\/a>) and Simon from Savidge Reads (here is his “Hall of Fame”<\/a>).<\/p>\n
