Once again I've composed a list of authors that I haven't read anything by, that I'd like to rectify this year.
Asterisks if I've got something by them already.
No inclusions if an author only has one specific item that I'd want to read.
Be nice if I could do about half.
Obviously it's somewhat difficult for people to complain about who's not on the list, if they're not familiar with what I've already read, but there's plenty of scope for complaining about the ones I haven't read, or recommending specific titles.
I'll stroke them off when applicable: (watch for the mesmerizing absense of striking!) and perhaps update it with forgotten / new entries.
- joe abercrombie
- catherine asaro *
- robert asprin *
- JG ballard *
- damien broderick * (I've read some non-fiction)
- louis mcmaster bujold *

Of course, 'ordinary' reading by authors I love (or random titles that perchance take my fancy) will continue to intrude...
