Anyone guilty of not remembering authors?
For the books I like, I try to remember the authors but I just can't unless I come across the author several times. I remember the plot first, the title second, and then the author way down the line! Anyone else like this?

As a librarian, I've had the following, slightly embarrassing, situation happen to me several times, all because I'm really bad at remembering names, especially author's names. - I tell kids that come into the library where I work, oh I have the perfect book for you, you'll love it, this and this happens in it, the story line is something like this, blah, blah, and the title is "Blank". Now, who is the author.... if I could just remember I'd be able to find the book for you. I guess I'd better look it up in the computer so we can find it.

Pretty much like me.rssllue wrote:I am okay at best with the authors and the titles as well. I know the info is in my head, I just struggle to get to it sometimes.
And I hate when I see the name in my head for a millisecond and forget it again.

Languages never spoken.
Colors that should not be.
Lives never opened.
Eyes that never see.
And then the page is turned, a universe created.
