Posted on February 4, 2009 by Elizabeth McCullough

A new Festival of the Book Mixed Bag Challenge:

All those authors names…so tough to keep them straight. Robert Rabbit Warren?J.P. O’Rourke? Evelyn Wow us with this week’s challenge: 6. How would you botch an author’s name?

(Actual experience funny, but not necessary.)

Deadline: Feb. 11, Noon. New challenge then.

Of course I would never botch an author’s name. Especially not Jorge Luis Borges. I mean, BOR-hayss.

    I was giving a report in high school on Upton Sinclair……so it probably would have been helpful if I didn’t refer to him as Sinclair Lewis throughout my presentation.

    I think that’s a *very* common slip.
