Cool...I've read the Studs Terkel, the Pronzini, most of the Jennings (as I note!), and the Beagle...and probably would've gotten to the Malamud, the Burgess, the McCoy, the Powers, and possiby yours, Patti, on my own, but the others would've been much less likely...

Ashamed at how few I've read-Malamud, McCracken, Burgess (but not essays) McCoy (but not that one) and my own.

For a while, toward the end of his life, Burgess was the primary book reviewer for THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY...its last good years, too. That was a treat.

Well, the real shame in most cases on these lists is that the books aren't readily available...you can't get the Jennings Mobey book for less than $50 on up, or considerably more than reading copies of all the back issues of F&SF are likely to cost.

Boy, it that the truth, Todd. I've checked a few out and been amazed at the cost. Best bet is a big city library perhaps.
