And let us not forget Shardik by Richard Adams (1974) - his second novel, fantasy setting, worth a look.

Appendix N read like my library circa 1984 or thereabouts....I think I had read about 90% of the books on the list by the time I was 18, and polished off most of the remainder over later years.

I'd be interested in what Appendix N might look like if it was assembled today....Appendix N came out when it was still possible to keep track of all the authors floating around, and one could generally find and read all of the good stuff with modest effort. Today....it's like a tidal wave of murk and the gems are hard to find!

I'm sufficiently intrigued that I added it to my list. Much appreciated.

It's a good deal easier to mine pre-1980's literature, that's for sure.

I thought I'd mention that one of the coolest things that happened to me online was recommending Gene Wolfe's "The Wizard Knight" duology to Gygax when he was posting on EN World, and he actually ended up reading them. He didn't like "The Wizard" as much as "The Knight," and even went so far as to say that had "The Knight" been in print prior to the writing of the 1e DMG, he would have included it in Appendix N.
