Hmm...that does look good. Better than the other options I have considered. Was trying for last names, not first but may end up making an exception for this letter.
Now I just need to find a good X author. I am hoping to find one who's last name starts with X. I actually have found two books (translated from Chinese) but if anyone has any better suggestions I'd love to have them.
They don't seem that many. So Malcom X, few from BC. And probably some chinese.Well I haven't read either some books from authors whose last name begin with an X, though lately I read a quite interesting SF novella by Liu Cixin and the Forbidden library a YA novel by Django Wexler.
Thanks Ilona. I will check those out.

My problem is more that I can't find a U author whose works I am interested in reading, not that I can't find U authors. It's a dilemma.
