EXHAUSTIVE ESSENTIAL FANTASY READING LISTS

A long time ago in a different universe, I compiled first a list of fantasy I thought every writer should read. The idea was to provide as diverse a list as possible in terms of technique, ignoring things like being representative of minorities, etc. This first list is, of course, skewed to my own definitions of fantasy and my own obsessions with technique--and something I use when I teach writing courses. (Along with it, I had a subsidiary list of "right-now" authors for students to check out.)

Then, with the help of people on the Night Shade message boards, a more comprehensive list of all fantasy of any merit. This would also be a list for writers (although also readers, of course) should they want to have a comprehensive view of what "fantasy" really means. You can find the whole messageboard discussion here (although please comment here, on the blog). This list was supposed to be stuff from roughly a decade back or more.

Anyway, I thought I'd post both lists, for reaction/discussion. Should there be any interest.

COMPREHENSIVE LIST
For this list I have marked with an asterisk every book I’ve read. The other books I have not read. I’d be ashamed of this if my only reading was in fantastical or fabulist areas, but that really comprises at most 1/3 of my reading, with the rest being mysteries, mimetic fiction, nonfiction, etc. I’ve ruthlessly disposed of anything that I have read that I didn’t think warranted being on the list—i.e., a gut reaction upon looking at the title.

I have a lot of reading to do…once I complete my reading, I will pare this list down. See you in two or three…DECADES…
