<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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_ (<A

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?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What other authors has Wolfe praised or indicated
that he enjoys? What other books has Wolfe written blurbs
for?</FONT></DIV>
