Huh. I just realized my answer to #4 was intended to be James Frey. Not that it would make any difference in the score, but it would certainly make more sense.

    *2. - Not Babara Cartman as I first typed.
    *5. - If this isn’t the top answer, I’ll eat his complete works.
    *10. - Bit of a stretch, as I have no writing skills.

Dammit! Tennessee Williams! Dr. Seuss! These are excellent answers.

Damn my Harry Potter nerddom (tho’ I’ve never written or read any fanfic; and personally, don’t want to) and English major!

51

I was pretty confident when I submitted my answers, but flicking through the thread it looks like I’ve done pretty badly. Guess no-one in the US has heard of Barbara Cartland or James Herbert (a mashup of their fiction might be worth reading).

MeanOldLady is #44.

54

Yeah, I was surprised that more people didn’t say Barbara Cartland–I thought she was kind of the *grande dame *of romance. But then again, I don’t read romances at all, so it’s not like I know much about the genre.

I think this might end up being my worst performance ever on my own Feud! :stuck_out_tongue:

55

I considered saying her, but thought she might be too old (as in “I know she used to be big, but does anybody still buy her books any more?”).

56

bump!

Notes:
4. If you’re getting a death sentence for your novel, that’s pretty damn controversial
5. Of ‘DaVinci Code’ fame
10. Not really, but I’m guessing it will be popular

  12. Hoping Rowling doesn’t edge me out here
  13. Actually action, but guessing sci fi more popular
