Chuck Palahnuik (there just aren’t enough people who go by “Chuck”, and your mouth has to make the funnest shapes to pronounce “Palahnuik”) Stephen King (it’s such a total author’s name) Dean Koontz (cool sounding name, though I don’t like the author) Nick Cave (god I wish I had the last name Cave. god I wish my husband’s first name was Nick. 🙂 ) Clint Ruin (or Jim Thirwell. Both are very cool) Reverend Horton Heat (Horton is the greatest name I’ve ever heard. Except for maybe Jimbo.) ---
