In an effort to pigeonhole me, Mr. Olsen has asked me (ME!) to tell you what my favorite this's and that's are. Well, he picked the wrong month for that, as I am wasting every spare moment bouncing between NaNoWriMo and Thanksgiving Day preparations.
However, I am nothing if not cooperative, so rather than spend my energy doing exhaustive research, I am presenting some off-the-cuff lists. Actually, come to think of it, these might be more insightful than if I spent hours and hours researching what my tastes are supposed to look like--fiddling with things like "Do I put Asimov at number 2 or 3?" and "How many Beatle albums can I fill up the Top 10 with anyway?" At least, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
Hell, I'm not even gonna give you reasons WHY I like who I like. So there!

Glad to see that Tolkien is here, although he should be nr. 1 instead of nr. 3, but that's your choice. His works are so great, so big, beyond your imagination if you haven't read it. It's a whole mythology.
