We recently asked readers to name their favorite Buckeye State authors and Ohio-themed books. Here's what you recommended:
Shannon J.: Erma Bombeck. A brilliant humorist. She changed the way I saw my mother and my childhood while growing up in suburban Dayton.
Chase E.: Louis Bromfield, author of "Pleasant Valley."
Michele D.: My favorite Ohio author has to be Robin Yocum. His books are set in Ohio, mostly in the Ohio River Valley, and he was a Dispatch crime reporter in the '80s.
Tom F.: I can't recommend Derf Backderf's "Kent State" highly enough.
Chris L.: Kenneth Patchen, a poet born in Niles.
