I spent a couple of hours today sorting out my book-shelves – the ones holding the hardbacks, that is. And even then I only got as far the letter “K”. But now at least half the alphabet is correctly shelved. And here they are, the authors A – J:

Anthony Burgess, Cliff Burns, Richard Calder, CJ Cherryh
CJ Cherryh, Ted Chiang, John Clute, Mike Cobley, Gary Couzens, John Crowley
John Crowley, Samuel R Delany, Philip K Dick, Thomas M Disch, L Timmel Duchamp, Lawrence Durrell
Hal Duncan (I know, alphabetically he’s before Durrell), Kelley Eskridge, Christopher Evans, John Fowles, Mary Gentle

There’s still a few missing from my collection…

Also, seeing your Delany titles: I wonder how many people buy his Mad Man thinking it’s something to do with the Mad Men TV series and then are … surprised … by what they read?

You mean it isn’t? I was going to buy Hogg as well, but apparently it has nothing to do with piggs…
