Difference (from prior minor revision) (author diff)

Removed: 5,7d4

I would like to see JK Rowling removed from this list. Harry Potter is more just a good read, not really fantasy -- unless you want to add most childrens' books/authors to the list? For example -- Dr. Dolittle's adventures are truly fantastic, as is his ability to talk to animals...but are the Dr. Dolittle books fantasy? If you want to keep Rowling, wouldn't you also want to add Susan Cooper to the list? Her books take from both Arthurian tradition and Welsh mythology (and if Alexander is on the list, why not Evangeline Walton?). Since Walton's books are mostly translations of the Mabinogion, I wouldn't add her -- my $.02 J Hofmann Kemp
