1986 authors full list

game and would type up the rest if anyone is interested. The list was
made in 1986, and does not reflect my choices 15 years later, but is
that of a 30 year old.
I hate shift key work because I am a one finger typist. So that
explains the lack of capitals. Where a title includes a comma, the
title is enclosed by asterisks, so that explains that. To aid marginal
notetaking on printouts, a ---- line seperates authors. The question
to answer when making the list was "would you trade it if that meant
that you would never see it again?" Of 4335 titles, 904 authors the
list below had the answer "no". As in the previous list, the book must
have been read before Sept. 1986 to make the list. Books which were
only speed read scanned are not included. Formula books such as the
"Perry Rhodan", "Dumarest of Terra", and "Tarnsman of Gor" series are
also not included.

You asked before. We weren't. Go back and read our responses the first time you
excreted this list. Failing that, just go away.
Watching someone pound their head against a granite wall in the conviction that
sooner or later the wall will give way provides a certain amount of instructive
value but is rather boring as a spectator sport.
