Hazelk you say "have lived up to Dec 31, 1999", but the game is being played so that the author merely had to live in the 20th century. Many of the authors used have not "lived up to Dec 31, 1999" but all have lived in the 20th century. Are you saying that any author who lived in the 20th century is eligble to be used?

game was started by skoobdo (not me) and I have quoted skoobdo's introductory piece which includes 'have lived up to 31st December 1999 or still living today'. I've always taken it as authors that have had the particular work that we play on as first published in the 20th century: do you take it so?

Hazelk, The way the game was started would seem to mean the author had to be alive Dec 31, 1999, but it has been played so that any author living in the 20th century is eligible. In fact, I played Sandra Day O'Connor, who as far as I know did not publish a book in the 20th century, the only book of hers I know of being published after the 20th century. Can we all agree that the requirement is that the author lived in the 20th century?

Roland, re longest diary see this from the New York Times:
Mr. Shields’s 37.5 million words apparently exceeded the more than 21 million in the colorful diary of Edward Robb Ellis, a newspaperman who died in 1998, and the 17 million words of Arthur Crew Inman, a reclusive poet who died in 1963. The 17th-century London diary of Samuel Pepys was a mere 1.25 million words.
I've read some of Ellis' diary: A Diary of the Century: Tales from America's Greatest Diarist, by Edward Robb Ellis (read 18 May 1997)

Thanks, Schmerguls. I didnʻt know about Shieldsʻs and Elllisʻs 1st and 2nd place status.
I didnʻt even catch, in reading -- well, scanning -- Inman that he was a oet, or a would-be poet. But I could see how he might well be a failure in any
serious literature he went in for.
