Tony Pierce: bookshelf meme. Normally I don’t play these games, but I can’t resist one that allows me to plug low-tech word distribution mechanisms like books. Instructions: ”Copy the list from the last person in the chain, delete the names of the authors you don't have on your home library shelves and replace them with names of authors you do have. Bold the replacements.”

The list, as received from Tony and updated by me:

1. Charles Bukowski
2. Umberto Eco
3. William Gibson
4. J.R.R. Tolkien
5. Mark Twain
6. James Joyce
7. Anne Sexton
8. Doc Searls
9. William Shakespeare
10. George Herriman
