Neil Peart

Favorite Writers

The writers on this list have entertained and influenced me in one way or another in my life. It may be one book, one short story, a poem, or even a sentence. Believe me, it was tough to get this list down to 20. However, I expect to see the list grow to 50 or even 100, and to include more non-fiction writers. So, stay tuned!
