Oh, God, there are so many, past, present and future. Favorite books — of course, “Lord of the Rings,” the science fiction fantasy of Jack Vance, one of my favorite authors, Robert A. Heinlein, whose works I grew up on, cut my teeth on, many other great science fiction and fantasy writers. Roger Zelazny, who was a mentor of mine who lived in Santa Fe, his masterpiece “Lord of Light,” many of his other great books, the Amber series, “Creatures of Light and Darkness” — marvelous, marvelous books. But I read a lot of other things, too, beyond science fiction. I mean, I love the work of Bernard Cornwell, who is doing historical fiction. Of course, I love “The Great Gatsby.” I love many mystery novels and thrillers. I’ve been a big Stephen King fan for, you know, half a century, one of the great writers of our times.
