Hope you don't mind, but I forwarded your link from eneit's to G (my OH). He reviews books he's read on his blog, and has been surprised by random approaches from small publishing companies asking him if he would review books for them.

Great stuff, spread the word; get her out of the closet and burn her... ahem...

Well, since in my own post, I was inly blathering about Zelazny, I'm glad you revived it, so I can add a few more names of my own:

Ray Bradbury, Alfred Bester, Steven Erickson...

if I think of any more, I'll be back.

I just read Bradbury's horror short October and I just thought to myself 'that story in In Bad Dreams would have = insta-success!'

It was just wonderful!

Nobody shames me, but there are writers I admire to the point of worship. Terry Brooks is one.

Roger Zelazny
Louis de Bernieres
Howard Spring (he's out of fashion now and probably out of print but this guy *understands people* - his writing is extraordinary, he makes the everyday into something compulsively readable, he makes you care and you wind up living the lives of his protagonists, not just reading about them.
Ursula le Guin

And re. the Klausner clause, yes, I have - I've got several Klausner reviews up on my books' Amazon sites. Yeah, she liked 'em. Why do you ask...? *sigh*

Nabokov. He's deadly good. He's just too good really.

Conrad.
