For Bookish, music writer and self-described “karaoke ho” Rob Sheffield lists which songs famous authors of the past would have belted out on karaoke night.
He’s unquestionably right about Oscar Wilde crooning something from The Smiths, though it seems a missed opportunity not to have given James Joyce “Baby Got Back.”
Which tunes do you think your favorite writers would have favored? We bet Faulkner would’ve rocked a mean “Bohemian Rhapsody” after a few mint juleps.

Edna St Vincent Millay would be all over “None of Your Business” by Salt n Pepa.
