NEW GAME: Guess the author

[Phadrus00]

North Korean. :rofl:

Was it that cyberpunk guy? Gibson?

Carol you are as smart as you are pretty! Indeed it IS William Gibson! Nice one!

My personal favorite Gibson book is Neuromancer... An amazing read but his collection of short stories called Burning Chrome is worth checking out..

HK Phooey..

I am not familiar with that Author.. Is he Korean? *ducking*

Lol!

I guess if I tried hard enough I could find hints of homosexuality in the Harry Potter series.

Would it be Ann Rand?

Rob

 

[Carol]

May I say that you are as handsome as you are smart?

Although that sounds....less creative...

Yes! Ayn Rand it is.

 

[Carol]

1. Socially critical

2. Oddly autobiographical feel

3. Los Angeles

 

[crushing]

If you had Las Vegas instead of LA, I would guess Hunter S. Thompson.

 

[Carol]

Not Hunter S. Thompson.

Although, Fear and Loathing in Los Angeles would have made for an interesting story.

1. Socially critical

3. Los Angeles

Although it's not the answer to this question, this description reminded me of James Brown's The Los Angeles Diaries and I just wanted to recommend that book to everyone as one of the most powerful and brutally honest "memoirs" of LA life I've ever had the pleasure to read. Quite an eye-opener.

Sorry for the interjection! Play on...

Respects!
