15 SF/F authors
A big thanks to gaaneden and onyxhawke where I spotted this meme! This one is a toughie for me as the list changes over time; so I am including authors from my childhood that helped shape who I am today (and who I still read!) as well as new and noteworthies. Aw heck, just check out the list...
List 15 science fiction and fantasy authors who will stay with you always - don't think too hard about this - just do it. This is my list, in no particular order, of sf and fantasy authors who've written things that have thrilled me, made me think, taken me to other worlds:
1. Alan Garner
2. Mercedes Lackey
3. Andre Norton
4. Tamora Pierce
5. Tolkien
6. Lois McMaster Bujold
7. L. Frank Baum
8. C.S. Lewis
9. Madeleine L'Engle
10. E.R. Eddison
11. Sherri S. Tepper
12. David Weber
13. Jessica Amanda Salmanson
14. Terri Windling
15. Tove Jansson
It will be interesting to take this in another 10 years and see who makes the cut.
