Lauren Leto Stereotypes Readers/Authors

By Kenneth Anderson

I like this.  HT Instapundit ? I hadn?t heard of Lauren Leto and her blog before, but I found this enjoyable:

Stereotyping People by Their Favorite Author

(by the way ? I respect every author on here, kind of)

J.D. Salinger

Kids who don?t fit in (duh).

Stephenie Meyer

People who type like this: OMG. Mah fAvvv <3 <3.

J.K. Rowling

Smart geeks.

Ms. Leto provides many, many examples more.  I?m mildly distressed at how many of the contemporary authors I had not heard of before, but then I don?t read much current fiction.

But there Is A Problem With This List, and the fact that I note it will not surprise regular readers of this blog.  It is missing a certain author, one of Great(est) Importance.  So, dear VC readers, in the spirit of the above ? consult the blog for all the rest of the sampled authors, and then tell me how you fill in the Missing Author ... drumroll, Stendhal.
