Appendix N: October 2020 Edition

Just updating my Appendix N List.  I've added three new titles from Clark Ashton Smith, and one from Tracy Hickman.  I know, Hickman does not properly belong on an Appendix N List, since his writing followed the creation of Dungeons & Dragons.  Nevertheless, someone whose opinion I respect suggested that Weis/Hickman's "Death Gate Cycle" was worth reading, so I picked up a copy.
