If I were making a list for someone, I'd add William Hope Hodgson (either The House on the Borderland or The Night Land), Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea books, and some Leigh Brackett (either Mars or Skaith). I'd probably opt for Barsoom over Pellucidar if you've never read either, but I've no idea if that's the case.<br /><br />I won't recommend Eddison's Zimiamvia books, even though they serve as perfect companions to and refinements of the themes in Ouroboros, because by the end of the latter, you'll either sigh in relief or immediately seek them out with no prompting. :)Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155926145150934199noreply@blogger.com
