Snagged this off of Literary Musings blog the other day. Book Sexy Review will appreciate this chart - We had discussed the pronunciation of some of these authors names at BEA11..... ha!
Thanks for sharing this - I had this issue with Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. Per the author's web site, it's pronounced "rire-duhn" so that it rhymes with "fire". Everyone I know with this surname says "rear-duhn" to rhyme with "fear". Who'd have thought?
Printed it out!
