I met Connie Willis!
Feb. 4th, 2010 03:16 pmI got to see my favorite author at a local bookstore the other day - Connie Willis was doing a book signing!
I got my copy of Doomsday Book signed, and I said I've been reading about 2.5 books of sci-fi/fantasy a week for some years now, and she's my favorite author. She seemed rather taken aback by that statement, which amused me. I wonder how many people have told her that.
Past a certain point, it's hard to compare authors because the top several are all awesome, but I think I can say that Connie Willis is probably by favorite. Though some other authors' books are better than some of hers, I love her stories, characters, dialog, style, and particular mixture of science and mysticism. I like her ideas for how time travel could work.
I wanted to ask, in the QA section, which of her books she'd most wish to be remembered for, and which she expects she probably will be remembered for... but there wasn't time, and I don't mind not having asked, because it was enjoyable to hear everything she had to say.
