That's a good place to try and start a discussion. I suppose it depends on the individual approach to reading. Some readers prefer a wide-ranging 'scattergun' approach where books are not necessarily, or seemingly, connected. Others like to concentrate their reading in particular areas or directions; then there are people who have favourite writers or books. Still others feel that anything seemingly prescriptive reminds them too closely of being at school, and react accordingly. I take it to be a genuine inquiry, and so nominate these three writers:
Italo Calvino
Virginia Woolf
Lucia Berger
