Dude, I can't remember half of what's on my bookshelf. Most of the above-mentioned authors are the ones I keep returning to, but I feel like I'm slighting the rest of the books I own.

This is a very enjoyable meme!

I know -- I picked things that just came to mind quickly.

I'm really having fun seeing the common threads in the book lists.....

Juliana, are we sure we're like, different? Aside for you being in a different place and not watching "Homicide" and my not reading Virgil? Seperated at birth.

I don't think that's a bad thing at ALL.... :)

Me either. It's more like a "Note to self: hivemind freaky" thing than anything.

I don't have Pratchett, Gaiman, or(sadly) Grabien, yet.
I'll add Sedaris, David Simon, Janet Evanovich, and David Smay(lotta Davids, WTF?)

This was how I felt writing up my list. I'm sure there are a number of authors I've completely neglected, and I have a lot of books, but I could only remember so many names off the top of my head.

Oh!
