Yes. You're bound to find at least a few of those authors enjoyable and they are all very influential

>> No.15060763

It's a very single-minded list in the sense that all the authors are very specifically selected for the purpose of nurturing a modern novelist, so it does its job very well in that regard. On the other hand I think I'd prefer something a touch more whimsical, with recommendations for classical literature, non-fiction, etc.
