Which authors have affected your work the most?

I’m primary a sci-fi writer, but I also dabble in other genres also. Also, I tend to think in the works themselves instead of the authors. So I’ll list these works, and the authors behind them.

Sci-Fi:

• Space/Ransom Trilogy - C.S. Lewis

• Voyage to Alpha Centauri - Michael D. O’Brien

• John Carter/Barsoom series (first 3 books) - Edgar Rice Burroughs

• A Canticle for Leibowitz - Walter M. Miller, Jr.

• Dune - Frank Herbert

Everything else:

• Paradiso (The Divine Comedy) - Dante Alighieri

• Anabasis - Xenophon

• The Commentaries - Julius Caesar

• Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ - Lew Wallace

Like Josh, I don’t feel like tagging anyone. If anyone wants to play along, feel free to restack.
