I already self-corrected, Donaldson around Post #63, but thanks. The list’s still a disgrace.
I couldn't agree more. Proof, if any more were needed, that most NPR listeners don't read, and those that do, don't think.
No Eddison, for one. Predated Tolkien by a quarter-century. No Doc Smith. No Laumer. No Poul Anderson, no Piers Anthony, no Harlan Ellison. Neil Gaiman fully 20% of the list? I don't think so. And Wicked, for the love of God? Next to Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke, Heinlein, Tolkien, Gibson, and Stephenson, that piece of fatuous, derivative fluff sits like a monkey turd in a bowl of emeralds?
Let us consider the source.
