The table became a meme through the usual Internet Alchemy, and its rules are thus:
I’ve bolded the ones I own books of, italicised, the women I’ve read something of (short stories count) and starred those I never heard of.I often add notes to memes like this, so I may do so now. And, since I'm not entirely sure what books I own, I'm being inclusive -- if I'm pretty sure I bought a book by a writer, I'll bold her name. (For that matter, if I bought a book of hers as an editor, I'll bold it, too.)
