Only Stormbringer by Moorcock? No Gormenghast by Peake? No Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath by HPL? Yet, Anne Rice is somehow on there despite writing what basically amounts to soft-core, angsty, shonen-ai?

Reading more is good, but. . . not necessarily from this list. Seems very "American", and seems to gravitate towards popular fluff.
