The Resume

    (February 28, 1970- )
    Author of 'Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events' Volumes 1-10, 'The Basic Eight' and 'Watch Your Mouth'
    Married and lives in San Francisco

Why he might be annoying:

    He uses a silly pen name 'Lemony Snicket.'
    He makes goofy appearances as Snicket's 'official representative,' Daniel Handler.
    He plays the accordion.
    His children's books are written in a deliberately fussy, pseudo-Victorian style.
    He is an opera fan.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He doesn't dumb down his books for kids.
    He has a dry, nasty sense of humor.
    Unlike some children's authors, he takes the time to talk and joke around with every single child who comes to his signings.
    He organized a fund raiser to pay the legal costs of a bookstore that refused to reveal its customers' buying habits to police (2002).
    Besides writing children books, he also writes very dark novels for adults.
