Auspicious Author Introductions

Cultivating long term relationships with authors is one of my favorite pastimes, but there is always a risk of leaving so many unread others out in the cold. So, here are 100 authors I have not yet read, each represented by a work that is both highly rated and sufficiently known. I'll be getting to at least a handful of them in 2022, and hopefully that will subtly encourage me to continue on with the rest.
