Writers and kitties

I figured some people around here might appreciate these pictures too:


Writers and Kitties
A lot authors I really appreciate there.



My favourite kitty/picture must be this one:

Add a pipe to the gentleman's left hand, and that's a lifestyle worth striving for....

OK, he's not my favorite author by any means, but you gotta love this picture.

Nice find, Bettlejazz!

Eeeek so much kitty happiness! :cat:

Some authors I really like who are in thes pics:

Mishima
Tanizaki
Sartre
Gorey
Poe
Cendrars
Cortazar
Beckett
Camus

That Poe one would have made a fantastic Kindle screen saver! I wish they had used that one.

I've never seen a picture of Edward Gorey, but just from the thumbnails I guessed which one was him!



Also, I know that feeling...

What a cute, fluffy little thing!

And the cat is nice too. :mrgreen:



I think there was at least 2 pictures of Gorey. Damn, he's such a fine artist.

You're a sweet-talker, beetlejazz! The last time someone made that joke about a pic of mine it was Jefe comparing me to a massive oak burl. He wasn't so generous...

I think Gorey is one of the reasons I was such a weird kid growing up. My mother (an artist) was working mostly with pen and ink at the time, so she really liked him. His books passed for "children's literature" in our house, even when they sometimes shouldn't have. :lol:
