SF: I've read quite a bit of SF. It's the list, honest :)
Seriously, I reckon that SF list is heavily skewed towards stuff first published in the US between about 1945 and 1975. Which includes a lot of good books, but there's been a lot published since then. I've spent most of the last decade reading new stuff as it came out, not trawling the old classics.
Alvin Maker: He published 3 books in quick succession in 1987-89. Then he stopped. Book four arrived in 1995, book five in 1998. I believe number 6 is now in the publication cycle.
I read 1-3 shortly after they were published, but had difficulty overcoming my apathy after a 6-year gap (during which I met OSC and thought he was a selfish git, which didn't help with the overcoming apathy bit)
