Alphabet * Author game #2?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) February 8th, 2014

We go through the alphabet and name an author that starts with the next letter.

A—> Ayn Rand * Atlas Shrugged
or
A—> Alcott, Louisa May * Little Women

Giving a book title allows us to re-use authors by changing books.
One entry per person, unless you flub something up, of have an author for the following letter that’s just too good to pass up.

The next Jelly will name an author that starts with the letter B. And so on…

Welcome to Alphabet * Author game @keobooks and don’t worry about the kid books problem. If your list contains kid books then my list contains many old-fashioned books

Speaking of confessions, I may have cheated a bit. But at least I got us past that pesky little “Q”. My apologies.

This is a cheat… but I’ll ;et someone else judge it

Yvonne Roberts ~ A History of Insects

I feel like I’m cheating because I’m using the christian name first and somehow that doesn’t feel quite right. I do have an author beginning with Y but I used it in the last Author game so that doesn’t feel quite right either.
