Byliner Authors

Here are three of the authors I have started to follow on my Byliner account:

Skip Hollandsworth -- Skip's Still Life continues to be one of my favorite pieces of nonfiction I've read ever since I became a writing major. I have never read another text by Skip, so I am excited to have the chance to read some more.

Taylor Branch -- Branch has written a lot about college sports lately, particularly about the question as to whether or not student-athletes should be paid by the institutions they raise so much money for. Any writing that deals with pressing topics in today's most popular sports is alright by me.

Michael Solomon -- Ever since we read I Hope Like Heck for class a few weeks ago, I was hooked. I'm interested to see how the rest of his writing compares and contrasts when put up against his Palin poetry.
