In Sf and Fantasy, in no particular order: Diana Wynne Jones -- I think every fantasy reader should read the Tough Guide to Fantasyland (where ale is always quaffed, the only available food is stew and nobody wears any socks). Tim Powers, most excellent atmospheres and really cool ideas. Samuel R Delany, who I'm always trying to keep up with (ideas wise that is). These have been near the top of any list I've made over the last twenty or so years. Also giving great words at the moment, George RR Martin, Robin Hobb, Lois McMasters Bujold, Terry Pratchett, Will Shetterly, Pamela Dean and Emma Bull. With certain reservations, Connie Willis, Kim Stanley Robinson. ===== Ven __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
