She's my absolute favorite writer. I collect everything I can find by her, including short stories in anthologies. And I buy second and third copies of stuff I particularly like, for example, The Birthgrave, and give them out to people.
I just feel like it's a dirty little secret because I have a whole bookshelf dedicated to her in my room where nobody can touch it without my permission. Growing up in a house where books were considered suspect, I now have a little frisson of delicious feeling when I see my house stuffed full of them. *grin* Plus, her fiction is so good I feel transgressive when I read it.
