Authors?

[Sir Elzio Dennick]

You can own all their stuff but just from what 10 authors?

For me...

Louis L'Amour.....I have seen used book stores having all their westerns in one place, with him off to himself, talk about respect and higher priced, ha~~~~
HP Lovecraft,,,,do have a first edition The Lurking Fear
Robert E. Howard.....Conan and the great artist Frank Frazetta, doesn't get any better.
Edgar Allan Poe.....king of the dark fantasy, big influense on Lovecraft the king of Cosmic Doom
John Steinbeck.....East of Eden, Grapes of Wrath must reads
Robert Heinlien......Stranger in a Strand Land as good as that genre gets
James Lee Burke,....love his Dan Robicheaux stories
JT Edson......those Dusty Fog stories ,,,,fun
Michael Moorcock (please don't junoir high was a long time ago) Elric the Albino prince, whoa~~~~
Leigh Brackett,,,Eric John Stark, she nails it

Big into Sword & Sorcery/Heroic Fantasy

This year I will read Tolkiens Hobbitt/Lord of the Rings trilogy

I haven't read much, but The Road was a good read. And I've heard No Country For Old Men was true to the source material.

Gotta get it.

could change on a whim but currently

Dostoyevskey : the interiority of his characters and the nature of his stories are timeless and masterful.
Tolstoy: possibly the greatest storyteller in history
Murakami: strange almost liminal fiction with a musical quality to his prose. everytime i read his books i feel like im under a spell
Murata: probavly my favorite contemporary Japanese author. her stories are wierd, fun and thoughtful.
Bellow: Herzog was my second favorite book last year. the way he weaves philosophy, history and imagery into gis work is amazing.
Steven Erikson: Malazan nuff said
DFW: love his essays, and his books are challenging. aleays fynny and poignant
Paz: my favorite poet of all time.
Hanh: his interpretations and dahrma talks are great. his commentaries on sutras are worth multiple readings
Azuela: los de abajo is one of my favorite books and i love his raw takes

have you read any of Howards ither works? his boxing stories are pretty cool as they all are like mini rocky stories. And his horror fiction stuff is fun (he was friends and influenced by Lovecraft so there is a bunch of overlap)
