Stranger Than Fiction : If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

I'm interested in knowing what people's answers are.


When you grow up, your heart dies.

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

That is a pretty interesting question. At first blush, I guess J.R.R. Tolkien.

I'm no expert, but . . . .

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

I was going to say Tolkien also. He'd give you a sense of honor, make your life have purpose, and surround you with beautiful scenery.

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

Certainly Chuck Palahniuk.

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

Stephen King. That way at least I would live or die in an interesting fashion.

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

JK Rowling or Maya Angelou

"Do you even remember what you came here to find?"

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

First, what a great question! Though there are many on my list, the first name that came to mind is David Mamet.

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

For me, it would definitely be Toni Morrison. I know the writing would be exquisite, powerful and magical.

Gillian Flynn definitely.

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

Kurt Vonnegut jr! I already feel like I am in a Kurt Vonnegut novel whenever I have a poignant random interaction with a total stranger - which unfortunately happens less and less since the invention of smart phones.

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

Aaron Sorkin.

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

I would say Stephen King or Timothy Zahn

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

George R.R. Martin.
Westeros style.

Just kidding! That would be awful! ^^

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

I'd have to go with Neil Gaiman on that one

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

Douglas Adams. My second choice would be Arthur C Clarke, and my third choice would be Kurt Vonnegut.

Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar, and / or doesn't.

Glen Cook.

Stephen king

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

Neil Gaiman for sure. That would be one wackadoodle story!

Nicholas Pileggi (naturally)

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

Can't pick just one. Deceased authors aside, I'd choose William Goldman (not Golding) and Stephen King. They could collaborate, if necessary.

Re: If you could have an author write your life, who would it be?

Lionel Shriver. She's a genius.
