My Appendix N

[viktor_haag]

My list is much shorter than most, I think. I think the main differences between my list and the traditional ones are: the lack of anything by Moorcock (who I find rather turgid) or Anderson (oddly enough, never ran across his work until much later), the lack of any pulp/SnS except for Leiber, and the notable presence of young-adult and bandes-dessinées in the list.
