I suspect you may have read Asaro and not remembered, as she's had a couple of short stories in "best of year' collections back in the early noughties.
Some would say that if you've read Jeff, you've read Ann Vandemeer. Not sure.
You've almost certainly read Maureen McHugh - China Mountain Zhang. One of those books even more resonant now than when first published. Also, no Elizabeth Moon? You've never read Deed of Paksennarion? The canonical paladin series?
Emma Bull showed early promise but faded, Laura Resnick (in novel form anyway) is just awful.
You are quite right, I have read China Mountain Zhang.
I am aware of Elizabeth Moon, I I just haven't read her. I even know that it's the definitive paladin book, and one of my main WoW characters is a paladin. So, I obviously should read it, just never got around to it.
I agree on Bull, and I'll take your word for it on Resnick.
The non-alphabetical order is making my OCD hurt. The list would be a pain to alphabetize, too. [And my fiction bookshelves are alphabetical by author
( ... )
I remember Amy Thomson then, I remembr the conversation about Tuvan throat singing.
Obviously editors do very much count, it just makes the question about whether you have their books a bit odd. Should a novel they happened to edit count as owning a book by them??

You may be right on Asaro at least as far as short stories go. Same goes for several other people on the list.
I may well have read some Ann Vandermmer, as you say.
Passing through Sydney possibly for mere minutes tomorrow, but hope to catch up with you early next week.

Regarding the List itself, now....it's a righteously good list, though I'm not seeing the "periodic table" connection.
