At least he's my favorite out of this list.

My favorite is prolly Kurt Vonnegut and I was honestly shocked that she didn't have a stereotype for his fans.

So I will create one:

What a great list. I was laughing out loud at 'kids who get lost in supermarkets' line for Dan Brown.

Mine were Aldous Huxley, Hunter S. Thompson... both probably true in some perspective.
