People either love Kerouac or hate him... And the Capote quote is correct, although Capote has little room to criticize anyone. How about a Hunter S. Thompson bobblehead?

How about a Thomas Pynchon paper doll?: http://wso.williams.edu/~dgambrel/pics/pynchon/ He's a Dixie Chicks fan, who knew?

I'd add one bobblehead to your list -- Norman Mailer. I'd buy one just so I could cut its head off.

Yeah, his executor also thought it was a good idea to use his picture in a GAP khaki ad a few years back...

Instead of On the Road, shouldn't he be standing on an overturned, empty bottle of tequila? What did Truman Capote say about him? Something like: "That's not writing ... it's typewriting."
