(urth) Whom Does Wolfe Read?

[John Barach]

Urthers --

When I read _Castle of Days_ for the first time earlier this year, I learned a bit about Wolfe's reading.  For instance, it's evident that he likes Ursula LeGuin, Nancy Kress, and Algis Budrys.

Today, in a used book store, I came across Sharon Baker's _Journey to Membliar_, which had a blurb from Wolfe on the front, praising Baker highly.  I've never heard of her.  _Journey_ is apparently her second novel, following _Quarrelling, They Met the Dragon_ (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0380892014: the Amazon blurb is written by her son, apparently) and followed in turn by a sequel _Burning Tears of Sassurum_.  Anyone read these novels (besides Wolfe)?  Any good?

What other authors has Wolfe praised or indicated that he enjoys?  What other books has Wolfe written blurbs for?

Curious....
