Bright colours! Big shiny comic book antics! Pants! Nathan Fillion in a terrible wig! KRYPTO!
I do have high hopes for this- I want to see a bright, hopeful Superman, not that Grimdark/Batmanesque/Ayn Rand Snyder Man of Steel.

Post you from a different era.

Me, back in '93ish. Fan of horror movies, heavy metal and books. That hasn't changed.

For some reason I've managed to put ERB twice! I mean, I loved the Barsoom novels as a wee 'un but it wasn't needed! 🤣

It's difficult! I'm avoiding looking at my list because I know I'll see I've forgotten someone great!
(There's a few names that are not on there because the author is not someone I now want to promote in any way now.)

Authors I've read 5 or more books by:
Terry Pratchett
Kim Newman
Robin Hobb
Gail Carriger
Stephen King
Genevieve Cogman
Iain (M) Banks
Tad Williams
Naomi Novik
Brian K. Vaughan
Ben Aaronovitch
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Douglas Adams
Edgar Rice Burroughs
HP Lovecraft
CS Forester

I found this upsetting and uncomfortable and I thought... why suffer alone?

Hope has nothing to do with it--DO YOUR PART!
