Reading stereotypes

Love this one - stereotyping readers by their favourite author

Charles Dickens
Ninth graders who think they’re going to be authors someday but end up in marketing.

Edgar Allan Poe
Men who live in their mother’s basements. Or goth seventh graders.

Dan Brown
People who used to get lost in supermarkets when they were kids.

George Orwell
Conspiracy theorists (too easy).

Aldous Huxley
People who are bigger conspiracy theorists than Orwell fans.

Harper Lee
People who have read only one book in their life and it was To Kill A Mockingbird (and it was their assigned reading in the ninth grade).
