<<Also, I've recently found myself in a position where
I have more time
to do pleasure reading, and I'm looking for some new authors
to pick up.
Based on the above authors I listed, who would you recommend
that I may
not have heard of? It's so difficult to pick up "new" authors
who've
been out of print for 30 years, you know? Anyway, any help
would be
truly appreciated. I look forward to at least one
reply!>>
