Why don't I have a reading icon?

Meme Time!  Stolen from everyone else:

 The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets included) who have influenced you and will always stick with you. List the first 15 you can recall in no more than 15 minutes, and they don't have to be listed in order of relevance to you.

Some of these are current favorites, some of these are long-lived phases in my life:

1.  Ursula K. LeGuin
2.  Octavia Butler
3.  Shel Silverstein.
4.  Neil Gaiman
5.  David Foster Wallace
6.  Dorothy Parker
7.  David Sedaris
8.  Beverly Cleary
9.  Gabriel Garcia Marquez
10.  Italo Calvino
11.  Ray Bradbury
12.  Stephen King
13.  Kurt Vonnegut
14.  Jorge Luis Borges
15.  James Tiptree Jr.

God Dammit, I forgot Connie WIllis.

Which is sad, because she deserves her own place. I don't know who I'd take out, though-maybe David Sedaris or Borges. Maybe.
