Literary Beards

I was at a loss on where to post this, but the lovely folks in the Hellfire Club sprang to mind as the group most likely to appreciate it and have the snarkiest comments. Here are the 12 best author beards according to the Daily Telegraph. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/9132147/Top-12-authors-beards.html?imag...
