A Random Look at Some Favorite Books by Favorite Authors

A kind of free-association exercise. I looked around the various bookshelves in the house, took note of the authors works I have accumulated, and then randomly chose the works that I liked the most. If I did it again tomorrow, the list would be somewhat ( though not substantially) different. I limited myself to fiction and drama( non-fiction needs its own list) and forced myself to stop at 50 authors and 200 books.
