Just found out that there's a sequel to Lovecraft Country being published this spring and I couldn't be more excited.
What are you reading in 2023?

Three Hearts and Three Lions is the most cited of Poul's works in the D&D context. Personally I think The Broken Sword was likely more influential. It's got
gnomes.

Yes, it's clearly a major influence which is why I was interested. It's the source for Law and Chaos and regenerating trolls and features familiar D&D creatures like dwarves, goblins, kobolds, giants, dragons, unicorns, and nixies.
ETA: Also a slightly different take on elves and a werewolf

Which Poul Anderson series is the best? Goodreads is listing:
- Future History of the Polesotechnic League
- Time Patrol
- Flandry
- And this Otherworld Saga (includes Operation Chaos and Operation Luna)

Three Hearts is definitely his most influential work on the creation of D&D, but for my money The Broken Sword is the better book.

I am still in pandemic mode of not really in the mindset for sitting down to read for a while at a time non-professionally but I am currently in the middle of a Scarred Lands anthology of short stories of hugely variable quality in writing. Also I am part way into H.R. Haggard's People of the Mist.
And a few gaming books, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything and Hyperconscious Explorations in Psionics.

Yes, but the Deeds of Paksenarrion is probably the best example of one.
That book holds up. Really well written. Mostly.
