Charles de Lint

Charles de Lint is one of my favorite new authors that I’ve been discovering this summer. He writes books that I would want to write, if I were a better writer. He blends fantasy and contemporary realism with an expert touch, populating his fictional world with characters that wholly engrossing. And, best of all, I found this great quote while looking up some info about him:

“Why did men worship in churches, locking themselves away in the dark, when the world lay beyond its doors in all its real glory?” – Charles de Lint.

So good.

  1. Me too. I love him quite a bit. I have a few of his earlier books which are hard to come by, if you’d like to borrow them.
