Anyhow, I talked myself out of at least three correct answers based not on the texts but on what I thought the test-writers thought I would think of the texts.
Yeah, I did that for a bunch of them too. I hope the test results show that most people think V.S. Naipaul writes like a woman.
I had 7 out of 10. Nicholas Sparks DEFINITELY writes like a woman.
I remember P.Anderson explaining when the rumors first came out that Tiptree could not be a woman. Her style and knowledge of the way men thought made it inconceivable.
I failed the test. I got 4. I also have a Naipaul book that I hate.
I failed the test, I guessed Sparks as woman. And also I thought the stupid guy who inspired the test was a female writer.
Tonight I discovered that Community College of Vermont offers a class " The Vampire in Literature, Culture & Film". I am going to take that class.
I finished
Game of Thrones
and now I'm desperate to read the next one.
Do it! Plow through them all! Read read read!
I just downloaded the Hugo voters packet and i am strongly tempted to just fuck everything else until I have read all the SciFi.
I wish I could, -t! I mean, I want it RIGHT NOW. And I have no Kindle, and no bookstore is open now. So I'm sadfaced and counting the minutes till I can get to the bookstore tomorrow.
Jon and Arya and Dany are the biggest draws for me.
Oh, I see the dilemma. Lack of instant gratification bites! When I bought the first one, my BiL gave me the next two to be ready, so I wouldn't have to wait. I wish I could shove them through the interwebs to you now.
