Bil Linzie reading list
Posting this mostly as a reference for myself, but in case anyone else is interested, public. Found it on the Raven Radio *winces* forum, date May 21/2010. Already familiar with some and know what I don't want/need to read from this list, but since it's quite extensive and includes some German authors, I'm just gonna put it all down here.
