Wow! This is so beautifully written, inspired by your love of reading. I agree with you that drilling down to just three favorite authors is difficult.
I really can't remember if I've read any of Zola's work, but I did see the old movie, *The Life of Emile Zola" back in the 70s, when it was on the TV late movie one evening. I do remember being very inspired by the account of his life and did some studying about him at the time.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful, informative post!

Thanks so much! I definitely recommend Germinal. I haven't seen that doco but Zola was indeed fascinating and it's interesting that whilst many people I know have heard of the Russian greats like Tolstoy or Dostoyesky, they haven't heard of Zola.
