I've reached this point quite a few times in these reading lists -- floundering to find books for authors whose names begin with the letter... Now, I am on "L." I've read Lovecraft and Le Guin, but horror author Bentley Little's Night School, while an homage to Lovecraft's Miskatonic University, is a little too sleezy for my taste; and the book I already had in my library, Snake Oil by Bruno Lombardi, is science fiction, not fantasy. I'm reading through Marc Laidlaw's Neon Lotus right now... and wondering what my next two "L" books will be. Surely, Robert Levy's new book. Perhaps this Ken Lieu, recommended by IO9. Perhaps a L'Engle book I haven't read, if she has something that veers closer to fantasy.
This is part of the path through this forest that a reading list makes for you -- peeking down the side trails that you decide not to take. It's a fascinating and pleasing process, even though it is tinged at times with frustration and a little niggling sense of lost-ness.
