Favorite Authors: A-Z

I saw this meme posted at What Red Read...who found it over at The Book Stop. We're supposed to list our favorite authors from A-Z--one for each letter of the alphabet. I knew that because of my mystery addiction, I could probably fill up an alphabet with just mystery authors...so to make it a bit more challenging, I've done two lists one with general fiction and poetry and one with mystery authors only. Let's see how I did:

General Fiction & Poetry

A: Jane Austen

B: Julian Barnes

C: Lewis Carroll

D: Emily Dickinson

E: Umberto Eco

F: Gustave Flaubert

G: Oliver Goldsmith

H: Robert A. Heinlein

I: [only if I count my mystery author, Michael Innes]

J: James Joyce

K: Maxine Hong Kingston (actually for non-fiction)

L: David Lodge & D. H. Lawrence

M: Edna St. Vincent Millay
N: Vladamir Nabokov
O: Michael Ondaatje
P: Katherine Anne Porter & Edgar Allan Poe
Q: [only if I count my mystery author, Ellery Queen]
R: Rainer Maria Rilke
S: Robert Louis Stevenson
T: Mark Twain
U: Samrat Upadhyay
V: Jules Verne
W: Oscar Wilde
X:

Z: Roger Zelazny

Mystery Authors
A: Margery Allingham
B: Leo Bruce
C: Agatha Christie; John Dickson Carr; Edmund Crispin

E: Margaret Erskine
F: E. X. (Elizabeth) Ferrars
G: Kerry Greenwood
H: Cyril Hare
I: Michael Innes
J: P. D. James
K: Laurie R. King

I did much better with the mystery field. I'm doing the Mystery Authors A-Z Challenge and have a name down for X (Ye Xin: A Pair of Jade Frogs), but I haven't been able to find and read it yet, so I didn't feel like I could claim it for X.
