The near future, cameron and co have teamed up with Obama and whoever's in charge in Canada and decided that from now you're only allowed to read books by ONE author to save on trees being cut down (and the energy cost of downloaded books to those newfangled digital things). All your other books will be destroyed. Which author are you going to keep? | ||

Shakespeare, of course. Duh! Or maybe Alan Titchmarsh. | ||

Dan Brown, because all his books are exactly the same. That's my snobbery factor for the day realised. | ||

Canada is lorded over by Conservative Prime Minister Stephen "I Get My Policy Ideas by Duplicating George W. Bush's" Harper, QC. Jasper Fforde's, due to the fact he puts so many other author's work in them as references. Possibly Pratchett's instead, due to the same thing, plus there's so bloody many of them. | ||

If I could only keep books that I already own, I'd keep my Brian Aldiss books - I've got 29 of his books that I haven't read yet, and lots more that I have. If you could pick the complete works of any author, probably Stephen King, because he's written lots and lots of books, I've haven't read all that many of them, and they're really long. I'd ration myself to a page a day. | ||

That's an easy one .. Ramsey Campbell, obviously.  | ||

Fritz Leiber. That way I get to keep a hardcore of great supernatural horror, fantasy and SF. | ||

Tough choice between Ramsey Campbell & Robert Heinlein: my two favourite genre authors and, thankfully, two of the most prolific, who somehow manage to keep the quality of their writing and storytelling consistently high. | ||

I'd hide my book collection and join the Resistance. La Lotta Continua! | ||

Your book collection would be harder to hide than mine... I'm afraid Mr bestwick is doomed to a life of hiding in the shadows and ducking flamethrowers. Personally I'm trying to choose between King, Bradbury or Pratchett or maybe Auster... |
