Great answers (loving the equation … can't even imagine how you formatted that on a blogging platform) and I am loving your questions this time. Will require some thought from me … not a good thing always. I'll have to work on these on the weekend!Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-38512251507550648922012-10-16T18:08:41.916-05:002012-10-16T18:08:41.916-05:00Oh, too bad you didn't win.

So please girls, you need to stick this out. And I have to say that it might just matter if the author is an asshat. But I can't just be told he/she is an asshat, I have to see it for myself. For example, I've done enough research on Jonathan Franzen that I shall never read another of his books again, I don't care if the President reads it.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-78431816629187148482012-10-16T10:53:54.512-05:002012-10-16T10:53:54.512-05:00"Sucked back in the quits".

I just don't get it when authors are mean and slimy. It makes zero sense to me. Also, I am so glad that tag chicken is not dead!

Exactly! I can't imagine missing out on such an incredible book just because I don't like the author. The same is true for a ton of classic authors too. Think of what a jerk Hemingway was! But I still love A Moveable Feast.
