Top 10 Favourites of Individual Writers: Part D

Do you like the same books as writers? This list is derived from the book "The Top Ten: Writers Pick their Favorite Books" edited by J. Peder Zane.
This list consists of 5 blocks of 11 items. The first item in each block is a monochrome image of an individual author with one of their better known works; this is followed by their 10 favourite books (in descending rank). See the list structure below. Click on the link to go to Part C if you haven't done it yet.
BTW. do a Google search if you would like to see the original high-res colour image of Douglas Coupland. Apparently it's a publicity shot for "Worst. Person. Ever.". Not pretty.
