| Re: Your library No, I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist on the entire list HSF. I'll want ISBN #'s as well, thank you. Seriously though, at 2500 books, HSF's list of authors is probably longer than my entire list of books (500 or so). My hands hurt just thinking about all that typing. Perhaps you should tell us what authors you haven't read instead.  |

| Re: Your library One easy way is to point to an online catalog. Myself, I keep mine on both Bibliophil.com and Shelfari.com. It also helps me remember what I have without looking through eight or ten bookshelves in two rooms. |

| Re: Your library Steve: Not to mention books currently in storage (about half my collection at this point, as there's just not bloody room enough where I'm at!!!)  Even cutting out the "horror/dark fantasy/fantasy classics", etc.... that'd be one heck of a list, I'm afraid (it fills up several pages in a list I drew up when moving... close to 20 pages, double-columned....)  Still... great idea there. And, taking the shorter route... favorite sff writers, with an example or two (and, yes, this will include those in the categories I list above): H. P. Lovecraft -- basically everything I can get my hands on, fiction or otherwise Clark Ashton Smith -- ditto Harlan Ellison -- fiction and essays (I'm especially given to Deathbird Stories, Strange Wine, and Love Ain't Nothing but Sex Misspelled for fiction, and The Glass Teat volumes, With an Edge in My Voice, The Harlan Ellison Hornbook, and Harlan Ellison's Watching for essays) Robert A. Heinlein -- all of his fiction (collections and novels), selected essays Isaac Asimov -- most of his sf, several of his books on science, and some of his other material Robert E. Howard -- any fiction I can get Joanna Russ -- especially fond of The Female Man Michael Moorcock -- again, any of his work I can lay my hands on, but I'm especially fond of Elric, Mother London, Blood, the Cornelius books, and The Brothel in Rosenstrasse J.R.R. Tolkien -- anything I can lay my hands on, but especially fond of The Silmarillion and fascinated with The History of Middle Earth (yes, this list includes books edited by C.R.R.T. and the new "Writing of the Hobbit" books) A. Merritt -- any novels or collections of his fiction -- personal favorites being The Face in the Abyss, The Fox Woman and Other Stories, Dwellers in the Mirage, and the original short story "The Moon Pool" James Branch Cabell -- chiefly his Biography of the Life of Manuel (25 volumes), but anything by Cabell I enjoy Lord Dunsany -- have a partiality to his first 8 collections of fantasy tales (especially The Gods of Pegāna and Fifty-one Tales) and The King of Elfland's Daughter Arthur Machen -- particularly The House of Souls Algernon Blackwood -- collections including "The Willows", "The Wendigo", "The Man Who Played Upon the Leaf", Incredible Adventures, and the John Silence stories ...... Well, that will do for a start, I think..... |

| Re: Your library While my collection isn't nearly as impressive as some, it'll take a while to catalog all the books I have, even if I'm just counting sci-fi and fantasy. I'm an avid reader of crime novels as well. |

| Re: Your library My book collection is here. There are quite a few authors whose books I buy in hardback - or in signed numbered editions, if available. Nowadays, I rarely buy books because they "look interesting" - I need to catch up reading the ones I already own first. |
