I have readed of the appendix:
Burroughs, Edgar Rice: “Mars series; Because of the movies and the rpg
Derleth, August. Because Cthulhu
Howard, R. E.: “Conan” series , Late in life my first experience was the Marvel Comic Books and there wasn't my cup of tea.
Leiber, Fritz: “Fafhrd & Gray Mouser” series (Great fan of the first novels, became disinterested after a while)
Lovecraft, H.P . Because of Cthulhu of course. Liked more his late work.
Moorcock, Michael: STORMBRINGER; STEALER OF SOULS; “Hawkmoon” series (esp. the first three books) . A great fan of his work, it hasn't aged well.
Tolkien, J. R. R.: THE HOBBIT; “Ring trilogy” a Great classic never rereaded.
Vance, Jack: Only readed the Dying Earth, not the Eyes.
I confess I feel more related to works by Brandon Sanderson, Terry Pratchett, Louise Cooper, Barbara Hambly, Margaret Weiss and The Earthsea novels. It can be said that some of those authors are derivative of the great writers of the 60's-70's but my fantasy is more rooted int he 80's.
My fantasy is not so different than the modern player, but my taste for some "grimdark" and tragic fantasy (As Moorcock) can clash with the actual d&d style.
