I can't resist a good book meme, even though those ones with the long lists of books where you bold the ones you've read and italicize the ones you want to read are a pain to format. This one that I found at Llama Butchers was much easier. or so it seemed.

The rule is, you go to Amazon's advanced search. Type your first name into the title field and post the most interesting title you find.

I found that there are a lot of books by Stephen King and that Amazon includes his name in the title. There were lots of books about Stephen Hawking, and a lot of books by some guy named Stephen Biestly who does books of cross sections of anything and everything. I discovered that there are a lot of books written by guys named Stephen. So at least I can add market saturation to the list of reasons to put off starting that novel.

I went through a lot of pages and came up two. Both sort of about the same guy, but the titles were fun.

The Stephen Experience. It is something not to be missed.

I don't know who Mrs. Jeffries might be, but the Feast of Stephen is relevant. Aside from the reference in the Christmas carol Good King Wenceslas, it is celebrated or acknowledged on December 26. Which just happens to be my birthday. Coincidence? I don't think so.
