Travis Smith: my resume, bio and photos back to the main blog page

OK, here’s how it works: Copy the list, delete the names of the authors you don’t have on your home library shelves and replace them with names of authors you do have. Bold the replacements.

I got it from Grant who reads Sean Bonner who thinks tony pierce is da bomb, who has a crush on annika, who cut a slice of the cheese stands alone who nicked it from A Likely Story, who was checking out Llama Butchers, who listens to Jenspeaks, who found it at Fire Ant Gazette who held onto it from white pebble via Rox Populi who squeaked at Mouse Words who was studying Philobiblon who learned it from The Little Professor who found it at lovely, lonely New Kid on the Hallway who seems to have picked it up at Celandine’s Chronicle on Dec. 29, but since Live Journal is suffering a massive power failure right now, I’m afraid that’s the end of the line.

Anyway, my picks are:

1. Eric Meyer
2. Michael Connelly
3. Robertson Davies (Canadian)
4. J.R.R. Tolkien
5. Aldous Huxley
6. J.D. Salinger
7. Steve Pinker
8. Donald Norman
9. Tanya Huff
10. C.S. Lewis

Overheard

“The superior man contains the means in his own person. He bides his time and then acts. Why then should not everything go well? He acts and is free. Therefore all he has to do is to go forth, and he takes his quarry. This is how a man fares who acts after he has ready the means.”

...who said it?

“Greatness is only a matter of will.  It is the end result of patience, determination, direction and strength.”

...who said it?

“kindergarchy n. Rule or domination by children; the belief that children’s needs and preferences take precedence over those of their parents or other adults.”

...who said it?

“The Northeast Blackout affected 50 million people and zero PEER 1 customers. Find out why.”

...who said it?

“As in 2007, the average U.S. worker has 14 vacation days this year. Just across the Canadian border, our counterparts get an average of 17 vacation days annually. But if you want a real “vacation envy” complex, consider the vacation banks of European workers. France tops the list with an average of 37 days, followed by Italy (33 days), Spain (31), the Netherlands and Austria (28), Germany (27) and Great Britain (26). “
