I saw the following question on an author interview and thought it was a goody:
Whose books are generally shelved next to yours in bookstores?
For me it varies; it depends on the alphabetical skills of the shelver and what books are stocked. But generally:
Anita Notaro
Éilís Ní Dhuibhne
Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill
And, inexplicably often, Flann O'Brien.
So who are your shelf-mates?

Good question! I must look the next time I'm reading in Chapters in Dublin. The local bookshops are currently sold out... which sounds good, but...
You're probably with the Smyths, Cherry and Gerard! That's if the books are in stock. Such a problem in this country...
In Waterstones in Brighton, I am next to Tania Hershman 's collection The White Road and other Stories... special short story collection shelf.
On the fiction shelves, I'm usually between Lloyd Jones (of "Mister Pip" fame) and Erica de Jong. Three kindred spirits?
