Heh, I'm sure one of the reasons I dropped out of university (other than having no money) way back when was the fact I couldn't read what I wanted.
Hm, my favourite SFF authors are LMB, whom I've just mentioned, Melissa Scott (http://www.pointsman.net/mpage/books.html) (she's queer, and most of her books have that as a theme, especially Shadow Man), Nicola Griffith (http://www.nicolagriffith.com/) (another dyke - she's written a couple of great SF books, and a couple of great suspense books - she's right into delving into psychology and survival), Julian May (although not the last series she wrote, blech), Jacqueline Carey, who wrote the Kushiel (http://www.jacquelinecarey.com/) books, Elizabeth Moon's Paksennarion series, and quite a number of kiddie authors (still) like Diana Wynne Jones, Alan Garner and so on. I still have a few Anne McCaffreys lurking around as well (the Killashandra and Sassinak ones). And other odds and sods I can't bring to mind right now either. :-)
