Saturday morning's idle question

[rolanni]

If you're reader of this blog (by which I mean either Eagles Over the Kennebec, on LJ, or The Blog Without a Name, at sharonleewriter.com), you obviously read at least one author's blog.

My question to you today is:  Why?

Why do you read writer's blogs?

. . .and, Special Bonus Question:

Of the author blogs that you do read, which is your favorite -- and why?

Have at it.

If I like an author's works, I often search for them on the web, to find out more. If they have a blog, I read a couple of posts. If I find them interesting, I add the feed to my feed reader. It stays in the feed reader so long as I don't get too bored or too annoyed.

I think Charles Stross's blog is the one whose new posts excite me the most. He tends to constantly find new-to-me angles on interesting topics and I keep learning from him. I also read this blog with pleasure; if I am allowed to exaggerate a little, you and Steve are kind of like favourite characters in a story (also, news about the Liaden universe, not to mention snippets from the same, are of interest, of course).
