Being guilty myself of not replying to the original survey, let me remedy
this by voting for three authors whose literary merit is high, but
were left off the list, apparently.

* Ray Bradbury--for his short stories, not his "novels"; Bradbury has written
some of the most haunting stories I've ever read: "The Watchful Pokerchip
of H. Matisse", for example.

* Theodore Sturgeon--another non-novelist, though "More than Human" is
superb; his short stories are insightful and unique.

* Fritz Leiber--though Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser are fun, try "Our Lady of the
Shadows" and "The Wanderer".
