Richard PattersonModern technology has given us many entertainment conveniences. Nearly everyone has access to endless archived knowledge through the internet. In terms of literature, this has given individuals access to countless works from the past and present. So, as part of National Reading Month, we’d like to highlight the works of various authors and writers. It might be a short list, but it will give you a lot of reading selections, whether on paper or screen.
Past Authors
Let us start with Emily Dickinson, an 1800s poet who developed several poems and books during her time, including “Hope,” “The Thing with Feathers,” and “Because I Could Not Stop for Death.” A 19th-century author you might have heard of is Hans Christian Andersen; if not, you might know his work, fairytale classics like “The Ugly Duckling,” “Thumbelina,” and The Emperor’s New Clothes.” Although both writers have long passed, their works remain for us to read and continue to learn from.
Modern Authors
Today, there are plenty of authors whose work is in entertainment and scientific research. An example is Katherine Ellison, an author whose work focuses on neurotypical brain development. Several books, such as ADHD: What Everyone Needs to Know and The Mommy Brain. As for the entertainment side, let’s look at book writer and screenwriter John Irving, known for his works like “The World According to Garp” and the film “The Cider House Rules.”
Closing thoughts
The methods and reasons for authors to continue creating literature grow beyond one field. From the literature that keeps us learning more about the world. To all the entertaining stories that would help build our character. We hope this article has encouraged you to look into an author you might not have considered before. There is always a good book to read, from the most well-known to the obscure works or papers to screen.
