Yet another posting meme has hit the blogosphere, and Jaquandor’s not only on top of it, he’s extended it. The originator of the meme posted a list of ten authors who grace his shelves. What you’re supposed to do is post your own copy of the list, replacing any authors whose books you don’t have with authors whose books you do have. I suppose the idea is to see how far it drifts. Anyway, here’s Jaq’s list with my replacements in bold:

William Shakespeare

Stephen King

Lois McMaster Bujold

Terry Pratchett

Guy Gavriel Kay

J.R.R. Tolkien

George R. R. Martin

Steven Brust

Sarah Caudwell

Patrick O’Brian

George MacDonald Fraser



Astute readers will note that this list has eleven authors–but then, so did Jaq’s.

Jaq then suggests that one could do the same thing with CDs, and posts a list of ten artists. I’ll bite on that as well.

Steeleye Span

Jethro Tull

Pink Floyd

J.S. Bach

John Williams

The Chieftains

Silly Wizard

Van Morrison

Ray Stevens

Benny Goodman

I’ll note that Jaq’s list included Johnny Cash and Ralph Vaughan Williams, both of whom really ought to be in my CD collection, but aren’t.

Take it away, Eric the Orchestra Leader!
