Authors on my shelves

[triskellian]

From uitlander. The non-bold authors are the list I've taken from her. I've crossed out the ones that aren't represented on my shelves, and added (in bold) some more that are, to take the total up to ten.

Oscar Wilde
John Fowles
C.J. Cherryh
Umberto Eco
John Le Carre
Stephen Jay Gould
Douglas Adams
John Mortimer
Terry Pratchett
J.R.R. Tolkein
Margaret Atwood
Nicholson Baker
Tom Stoppard
Rhiannon Lassiter ;-)

I've cheated slightly and not crossed out John Fowles, because smiorgan owns some of his books. But then, the letter of the sheep* says 'books on your shelves', and they're my shelves as well, even if they're not my books.

* Ooh, I love this phrase. I'm going to try and use it some more.

Are there instructions for the care and feeding of this sheep ? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with it.

[triskellian]

Yes, sorry. You take the sheep over to your LJ, loving it and hugging it and calling it George along the way. Once there, you remove the names I've crossed out (leaving ten names), and do your own crossing out of any on my list that don't live on your shelves (according to the letter of the sheep, although the spirit of the sheep might be closer to authors you own). Then you top up with others you own, to make ten.

And then release your sheep into the wild ;-)

I've got a secret miniature camera...

I just gacked this meme from the other half of my friends group... I want to work out a variant that means I have to choose ten authors one by one from the lists of my different friends...

And I bet the first person to gack from you removes that Rhiannon Lassiter person from their list. ;)

Wrong.

Dagnamit. Forgot about you...

I can't really contribute to this meme as my taste in books doesn't seem to coincide with that of anyone I know. It seems a bit pointless to cross off 10 books and write a new 10.

I have taken Borderlands by one R Lassiter out of my library today though. Not sure it really counts, as it won't be on my shelves for any length of time...
