Stereotyping People By Their Favorite Author

A very amusing list of authors and the type of person who reads them. Here are some of my favorites:

Chuck Klosterman - Boys who don’t read.

Chuck Palahniuk - Boys who can’t read.

Charles Dickens - Ninth graders who think they’re going to be authors someday but end up in marketing.

Mark Twain - Liars.

Michael Crichton - Doctors who went to third-tier medical schools.

William Faulkner - People who are good at crosswords.

Friedrich Nietzsche - Sommelieres.

Bret Easton Ellis - Foo Fighters’ fans.

Hunter S Thompson - That kid in your philosophy class with the stupid tattoo.

Toni Morrison - Female high-school English professors who only have an undergraduate degree.
