Maybe it's a joke and that's the point of the joke. How many ten year olds have read that many authors and yet can't spell or punctuate? It's food for thought.

I'm very fond of Tolkien, Orwell and Adams.

I was once had an idea about making a fighting video game with all of the great writers of our time. I think it'd be a hoot.

I actually find Mr. Thompson's drug use to be the least appealing aspect of his literature.

Steinbeck, Hemingway.

I like Steinbeck too, he is so good! Incidentally, i've visited both Steinbeck and Hemmingway's houses (Hemmingway had a house in Key West, Florida).

It depends who you ask. I just spell it Dostoevsky, thats how the editions I have of his books spell it.

It was a part of who he was. FALLV wouldn't have been interesting(or even written) if not for his drug use.
