Adams, Grant & Naylor, yes. Plus Moorcock, both Herberts, McCaffrey, King, Heinlein, Pratchett, Orwell, Koontz, Tolkien, Bradbury, Asimov plus many more, including everything written by Shakespeare.

I'm more into SF than F. King, Koontz not really my favourites. Would prefer Vance, vanVogt, Bova, Niven. I like Bertram Chandler, Christopher Anvil, Eric Frank Russell is also fun, same Mack Reynolds. Keith Laumer with his "Retief" series.

BTW I've got 22GB in over 25,000 files in my "books" folder. If there's anything you're looking for let me know.

PS Shakespeare? I liked the scene where Blackadder kicked him in the butt for the traumas he'd given school kids. Anyway, "out, out, brief candle"
