When I tried a letter I'd written to a college chum, I got Raymond Chandler!, but still deeply, deeply envious of those who got Douglas Adams and Wodehouse, who with Joyce and Wodehouse are in my Top Five for prose. But David Foster Wallace's 'Brief Interviews with Hideous Men' made my eyes vomit
I think I'd marry the man who writes like Terry Pratchett, and do the man who writes like John Donne . . .

I want to write like Vladimir Nabokov, Jim Thompson, Rimbaud, and Anne Rice! Well, actually, there's no point in writing *like* them. But you know what I mean!

Which given that the sample I gave it was from an SF story that not even the fanzines want anything to do with, is just plain taking the piss.
