Interesting list on Amazon by Neil Gaiman:

Amazon: So You'd Like To... - View Guide "See Neil Gaiman's 10 Mythic Fantasy Books to Read"

So good to see someone like Gaiman mentioning Cabell and Potocki! Perhaps enough people will get curious to see a bit of a revival?

Nice list, definitely.

I get the feeling that his interests are pretty eclectic. Some things on there I've never heard of--worth a look.

stumbled on to a really great section of Amazon, called grownup school. Lots of good lists created by experts on a topic there.

Ahhh, thank you, Cloud. Going to have to look into that!

Thanks again, Cloud. I noted a list on there of Lisa Randall's top ten books on physics, the link to which I've posted elsewhere, so many thanks.

Thanks for the tip-off. A Neal Stephenson interview introduced me to Susanna Clarke, who introduced me to Neil Gaiman's novels....
