Hi! I’m looking for books and authors which are '‘good with words’. What I mean is, I’m looking for stuff where they are good at painting a picture with words, the words and sentences flow really well, the choice of words is good, stuff like that. I think this is called ‘good prose’. I’m not sure though.

Thanks in advance. Happy Reading!

    100 Years of Solitude. I don’t read for language, but that is some memorable stuff.

    Another vote for Nabokov, and also for the only person who comes close for absolute mastery of the English language: P G Wodehouse.
