Survivor Appendix N Authors- LEIBER WINS!

[Dausuul]

Also to those who mentioned it upthread, these days I also pay professionals to read to me! It has allowed me to get through some books that I probably never would have stuck with but ended up being very satisfying. Sure, some books (and movies, etc.) expect you to sit through way too much dross and expect the last few scenes to make up for it, but many are just a bit hard to get into and listening has helped that. Yeah audiobooks! Yes, I said that.

Nothing wrong with audiobooks. It's the same book, just in a different form. Not my cup of tea, but I know lots of folks who swear by them.

The problem with audiobooks is you can't skim read or easily skip ahead. There are some perfectly good books with dull or repetitive sections (the later Pratchetts for example, when the Alzheimer's started to take effect).

Survivor Appendix N Authors- THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

Dunsany, Lord 15

Merritt, A. 10
Offutt, Andrew J. 14
Pratt, Fletcher 4
St. Clair, Margaret 2 - 2 = 0
Tolkien, J.R.R. 11 + 1 = 12
Wellman, Manley Wade 14
Williamson, Jack 14
Zelazny, Roger 15

My goal is to get Tolkien as close to winning as possible. Top ten would be ok. Top 5 would be better. Number one is preferred.

I don’t even need Tolkien to win. I’m just obligated since too many are down voting him to be cool/trendy.

Zelazny, on the other hand, needs to go. Seriously...why so much Amber love?!?
