Heya Gordon!! Just wondering: if you possibly got a discord account, would you make an official server yourself for your fans?? Just wondering.

Hi, Wesley,

Sorry -- I don't think I understand the question. I don't know what a "discord account" might be. And I thought this WAS a server for my fans. Details? (I'm quite happy the way things are now, actually.) -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi, Landyon,

Good question. I have a lot of favorite authors, but one really stands out:

His name is Kurt Vonnegut, and my favorite book of his is called THE SIRENS OF TITAN. I also really enjoy the Middle Grade and Y/A writers who are my contemporaries, plus an older kids' book writer named John D.Fitzgerald. His series, THE GREAT BRAIN, was an inspiration to me when I was the right age for those books. And, of course, Joseph Heller's novel CATCH-22, the first adult novel I ever read and was astonished by! How could I forget that one?

I could probably make the list much longer, but these are the idols that come to mind.

Best regards, -----Gordon Korman-----
