Book meme

[altariel]

Remove authors that aren't on your shelves and add new ones that are to bring the number back to 10.

yonmei's list:

Terry Pratchett
Gene Wolfe
Arthur C. Clarke
Ursula K. Le Guin
Christopher Priest
Laurie R. King
C. J. Cherryh
Stephen King
Leslie Charteris
Mary Renault

My list, removing removing Christopher Priest, Laurie R. King, C. J. Cherryh, Leslie Charteris and Mary Renault is:

Terry Pratchett
Gene Wolfe
Arthur C. Clarke
Ursula K. Le Guin
Stephen King
Sylvia Engdahl
A.S. Byatt
George Eliot
Lois McMaster Bujold
Dorothy L. Sayers

The meme originated here. Pratchett still on it; I could have kept on Charles Dickens, Dava Sobel, Stephen Hawking and Abraham Maslow.

Aha! Another Sylvia Engdahl reader! We are few and far between - I thought she would be the one most likely to be struck off. Which of her books do you have?

Just Heritage of the Star. I have never seen any other novel by her, though I discover from the fantasticfiction.co.uk (http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/authors/Sylvia_Engdahl.htm) website that she's written several more, including two sequels to Heritage.

Yes, Beyond the Tomorrow Mountains and The Doors of the Universe. They came into print again recently - her website is:

The ones that I read when I was younger where Enchantress From the Stars (which is just stunning) and The Far Side of Evil (which is set in a totalitarian regime and, combined with watching Blake, did my head in as a ten year old... and may well have been responsible for making me study sociology - now there's a heavy burden!). These have both just come back into print again too.
