In Ready Player One, James Halliday (creator of The Oasis) lists his favorite authors in Anorak's Almanac. This list includes select books from each of the authors. "...Douglas Adams, Kurt Vonnegut, Neal Stephenson, Richard K. Morgan, Stephen King, Orson Scott Card, Terry Pratchett, Terry Brooks, Bester, Bradbury, Haldeman, Heinlein, Tolkien, Vance, Gibson, Gaiman, Sterling, Moorcock, Scalzi, Zelazny"
I started a list on Goodreads where anyone registered on the site can list and vote on books that should be on this list.
Here it is.
