Book Meme

[drplokta]

Remove any authors who aren't on your shelves, than add some more from your shelves to bring the number back to ten.

swisstone's list was:
Terry Pratchett
Gene Wolfe
Alfred Bester
Jane Austen
Arthur C Clarke
Ursula Le Guin
Iain Banks
Christopher Priest
Stephen Baxter
Jon Courtenay Grimwood

I removed Jane Austen and added Neal Stephenson, so my list is:
Terry Pratchett
Gene Wolfe
Alfred Bester
Arthur C Clarke
Ursula Le Guin
Iain Banks
Christopher Priest
Stephen Baxter
Jon Courtenay Grimwood
Neal Stephenson

I can remove over half of your list!

Leaving:
Terry Pratchett
Ursula Le Guin
Iain Banks
Neal Stephenson

Adding the following six:
Joseph Conrad
Thomas Hardy
Jane Austen
Jack Vance
Brian Aldiss
William Gibson

That probably breaks the rules of this meme big-time, but wotthehell.

You were right. I can't remove anything from your list. Can't play. Waaaaa.

Or purplecthulhu's. Or the_gardener's. I could play with marypcb, which would usually be a good thing to do, but I could only swap one author so it's not all that much fun, really.

Waaaaaa again.
