a meme i've stolen from teh flist

The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets [and comic book authors] included)* who've influenced you and that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag everyone, because I'm interested in seeing what authors my friends choose.

My dudes:

1. Frank Herbert
2. Antonia Fraser (nonfiction counts, right?)
3. WM Thackeray
4. Charlotte Bronte
5. Philip K Dick
6. Ursula Le Guin
7. Roald Dahl
8. Enid Blyton
9. Kurt Vonnegut
10. Sheri S Tepper
11. Robert Graves
12. Rosalind Miles
13. Alexandre Dumas
14. Jane Austen
15. Fydor Dostoyevsky

List includes influences from very small me, to me last week, hurrah!

30 Days of Who, continued

Contrary to the name of this meme, it's now taken me over FOUR MONTHS. Clearly I'm caught in some kind of stretchy-timey thing of stretchiness. Yes. It's not that I forget things. Ahrrm.

Anyway, onwards with today's exciting entry, and I may even try to do them in order from now on (er, not counting today, as I just noticed I haven't actually done Day 1 yet, OH WELL):

Day 06 – Whatever Tickles Your Fancy

This calls for an Amusing Photo, surely?
