Obsessing about the attractiveness of authors who are not female is not heterosexual.

I always liked <pic attached>. This specific picture I mean. She just looks like a fine person with a mission to make the world a better place.

Her eyes are slightly too small given the volume of her head.

If you must make a competition from male appearance, there is one reasonable possibility:

THE GRAND /LIT/ FACIAL HAIR CONTEST

Moustaches, beards, sideburns. Everything counts. We should be able to find a decent number of candidates for our starting lineup. Ideally we want a power of two. Sixty-four should be possible? Then we can seed them and have a proper knockout tournament. (Obviously Nietzsche is going to win, but knowing the ending shouldn't spoil the book.)

I'll kick things off. Not everyone will have heard of W. G. Simms, I guess. He was a ranting Confederate guy (poet and novelist, IIRC). Very popular in his day (I think Edgar Allan Poe admired him) but not well-known now. He might have been fervently pro-slavery? If so that would account for the fall-off in sales I guess.

He has a certain craggy Scandinavian grandeur but the moustache is nothing so out of the ordinary, is it?

<Pic attached> has a little fastidiousness and a little whimsy, but all in the bounds of good taste.

Let's keep the ball rolling. No-one has heard of <pic attached> but they should have. One of those guys that thought of a bunch of things about thirty years before other people got famous for thinking them.

I look like that. Should I go for the stache?

No such thing. It's quackery.

hemingway up there. he esp mogs in this bracket considering his backstory (mother wanted a daughter). yet amis, who was fairly goodlooking but avg in most aspects, did better girl-wise.

the real authors that would do well in the bp market (scandinavians) are almost below consideration.

>Tolstoy, on the eve of their marriage, gave [his wife] his diaries detailing his extensive sexual past and the fact that one of the serfs on his estate had borne him a son.
There's a few other pictures of him through his twenties and thirties, and he was a good looking lad. I also genuinely respect the fact that he had a personal character development that included being a manwhore, at least he wasn't repressed.
