I just discovered David Downing!

I once had a reading program where I went to a small local library and took the first book on the shelf (starting with the A's) by each author and forced myself to read 20% of the book-then made a go/no go decision. Probably finished about one out of five but discovered some authors and works I would never have otherwise picked up.
