Favorite Author


I have to admit, I do not read much. I could be considered to be one of those people who only read because it is assigned. Very few times have I taken the initiative to sit down and read just to read. The last time I did that I was reading a book by John Bytheway. I read the book because I wanted to and a friend wanted me to. However it was a fun book to read because of how the author engaged his readers. John Bytheway, by reading that book, is now one of my favorite authors. I know he’s a comedian (it takes skill to be funny) but he also makes his writing funny as well while managing to get his point a crossed. Reading his book was one of the few times I have actually liked reading because he made it entertaining. John put a positive outlook on everything he wrote. I also liked his style because he teaches values and lessons throughout his pieces of work.  John Bytheway’s diction plays a huge role in how he makes his points comical but clear. It is possible to enjoy reading and everyone has their preferences. I, personally enjoy more laughable and uplifting novels or articles. I also enjoy writing pieces that cause the reader to think. The best way a writer can do to make sure their audience will be interested in their writing is the writer also needs to be interested in what he/she is writing.

  1. I agree that John Bytheway is really good because I think he cares about the subjects he writes about and the audiences that he writes to. Also he is really funny and that makes it easier to read his works.

  2. I can totally relate to the lack of motivation and time when it comes to reading. I also agree that comedy in writing can make for much more enjoyable literature
