Poe is awesome. ♥ I like everything he did. And while my favorite Gaiman remains American Gods I'll totes agree on Good Omens. :DD
Yep I saw the Wonder Boys movie! It was nice, though the book was better and in the movie I think they did two very wrong things aka cutting all the middle part of the book and casting Katie Holmes. /ew/ I like pretty much everything Chabon did but I think he writes so well that I'd read even the grocery list if he wrote it. ;) Kavalier & Clay is totally his best though. Still the best recent book I've read in the last five years or so.
Umberto Eco was kind of almost making the list actually. :DD I do love him, but I've read more non-fiction by him than novels, and since I had thought this was mostly for novels/poetry/fiction rather than non-fiction he didn't make it. Alright, not like Primo Levi wrote -fiction-, heck no, but in terms of influence he was more important and I wanted at least an Italian. XDD
