So there's this meme, right? (Yes. Run now. While you can.) You're supposed to list every author by whom you've read ten or more books. Only, when I started to do this, I realized that not one of the authors on my list was a favorite. How weird is that? So, uh, what's the point of the meme? Just to give people an idea of what you waste your time on?

Hello. Come on. I have a *live journal*. What do you *think* I waste my time on?

So...I have created adapted ripped off a meme of my own. ::dark figure sends parchment airplane from the corner:: That's Sev, by the way. He's helping me. Grudgingly. Which is pretty much how you folks read these things, yes?

Sorry.

Instead of listing authors you've read ten books by, list ten authors (living or dead) you'd poke with pointy sticks if it meant getting more of their writing.

1. Jane Austen
2. Robin McKinley
3. Caroline Stevermer
4. Robin Hobb
5. George R.R. Martin
6. Patricia C. Wrede
7. Carla Kelly
8. Paula Volsky
9. Ray Bradbury
10. JRR Tolkien (something not so connected to Middle Earth would be interesting to see)

Now. Go forth and spread my shamelessly ripped off meme.
