An Everlasting Book Meme
This one has a bit of a twist (and a pedigree) that allows it to change each time around. You copy the list from the last person in the chain, delete the names of the authors you don't have on your home library shelves and replace them with names of authors you do have. Bold the replacements. Here is my entry:
1. Evelyn Waugh
2. Thomas Hardy
3. Tom Clancy (a shameful, but fun, indulgence)
4. Jane Austen
5. CS Lewis
6. JRR Tolkien
7. Robert Graves
8. P.G. Wodehouse
9. Patrick O'Brian
10. William Shakespeare
Yips! to Freakin' Jen (aka Lintenfiniel), but it goes back a lot farther than her....
UPDATE: As long as we're at this, I'll start another list. Feel free to use this one as an alternate.....
1. Aldous Huxley
2. Erskine Childers
3. Dorothy Sayers
4. Douglas Adams
5. Derek Robinson
6. E.E. Somerville/Martin Ross
7. Bernard Cornwell
8. John Mortimer
9. Anthony Trollope
10. E.F. Benson
Nice meme -- had to take my turn.
Posted by: Gunner at January 7, 2005 12:08 AMmy shot, minus the blog I don't have*:
1. Frank Herbert
2. Thomas Hardy
3. PD James (an erudite, but fun,
indulgence)
4. Jane Austen
5. CS Lewis
6. JRR Tolkien
7. Robert Graves
8. P.G. Wodehouse
9. WH Auden
10. William Shakespeare
*caveat: there should be no points for any Mitch Albom scribblings.
Posted by: tee bee at January 7, 2005 01:03 PMI was thinking of joining this little meme play, but then I realised, that except for CS Lewis and Tolkien in the first and Adams and Huxley in second list, I would have to change all the names mentioned. That kinda scared me, so I passed.
