Okay, duh to me on Stephenson being #9. How could I not have recognized that?

Still giggling about the Jordan one.

Without checking for answers or hints first!

1. Genesis - the Bible one, not the band
2. R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion"
3. lawyerese
4. BWAHAHAHA! Robert Jordan!
5. Dr. Seuss?
6. I'm gonna guess Elmore Leonard.

10. e.e. cummings, natch.

13. Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange
14. Sounds very Jane Austen to me.
15. Ha! Zero Wing.

17. Dumas?
18. Okay, it's Dickens, but I wouldn't have guessed that without the hint.
19. Clearly I don't read enough comics.

The rest, I didn't get even with the hints. Maybe I should check all the answers first, but hell, I'll just post my first swipe and look dumb.

Thingummy. Definitely thingummy.

My mother has a propensity to make up words on the spot when she can't think of the right one. Like when my uncle was docking a boat and she told him to "look out for the bumpity-bumpities!"

Or (my personal favorite) when buying me luggage for a trip, she insisted that I would need a "pushy-doo" for the plane.
