So the one I almost knew was Capote! *slaps self in the forehead*

Also, I can't believe I got Toni Morrison and Alice Walker mixed up and did not recognize Murakami!

Congrats to Sean, and thanks again, Jessi. This was a great mini-challenge.

I know how Nymeth feels because I went back and forth between Walker and Morrison.

Congrats to Sean and Props! It was challenging and very very very fun. Thanks, Jessi.

I never claimed to know what these people look like! I'm amazed I did as well as I did - which was pathetic, really (and ashamed that I missed Wodehouse since I read a bio of him this year.)

Thanks; I'm glad everyone enjoyed it! And don't worry - some of those I wouldn't have gotten if I hadn't Googled them.

I love Wodehouse's picture - he looks so silly, and not at all like I thought he would. :)
