more than you ever wanted to know
If you say so.

I am:
Perhaps the most admired writing talent in the science fiction field. |
Funny thing is, I don’t care much for Le Guin’s writing . . . but I suppose they’re trying to match personalities on this quiz.
D.
Hairstyles. They’re trying (and failing) to match hairstyles.
Apparently I’m Cordwainer Smith. He was bald, though, which I think eliminates hairstyles as the main criterion.
By Dean’s criterion, I should be Cordwainer Smith.
WHO is Cordwainer Smith?
Arthur C Clarke, me. Is David Brin even on the list?
Speaking of SF authors, Ms Canada and I had dinner a couple of evenings ago with Jack Dann and his lovely partner. They are indeed a very interesting and altogether charming couple.
Cordwainer was an old-school, pulp sci-fi author. If you haven’t read his work, I highly recommend it.

Jack Dann I know from his truly awesome collection Wandering Stars, Jewish-themed science fiction stories. Man, now I feel like digging that book out of my boxes, wherever it is.
Chris, I’m gonna look.
Arthur C. Clarke. I can live with that.
H.G. Wells. Go figure.
I am also Felix Mendelsohn, and a bulldog clip (which is one of my favorite office supplies).
These quizzes sort of remind me of today’s many conversations about Chinese astrology (I’m a Wood Dragon, married to a Fire Snake, mother of a Water Snake, and daughter and mother of Wood Monkeys). The answers are entertaining, but I wouldn’t use it for investment advice.
