Silly Authors

No. of Players: 2+
Type of Game: written or spoken
What you need: pen & paper or nothing

Goal

To think of funny author names for book titles.

How to play

The first player thinks of a book title. It can be an actual book title, or a fictitious one. He tells this to the other players, who must then think of an appropriate author name. Players take turns providing the book title. This game is not scored, but if there is a sufficient number, players can vote on the funniest response. Alternatively, the title and author providers alternate round the players, so there is only one response for each suggested title.

Example

Alyssa: Who wrote Animal Farm?
Beau: Ima Pigg. Who wrote Preparing for the Apocalypse?
Chris: Justin Case. Who wrote Travel Europe On A Budget?
Dani: Penny Pincher. Who wrote The Stranger?
Ember: Hoo R. Yew. Who wrote The Cemetery?
Frida: Doug Graves. Who wrote Wanderers and Vagabonds?
Greta: Anita Bath.

And so on.
