A-Z Author Challenge

I did this challenge in 2008, and haven't attempted it since (I don't think I completed it then, actually). This is not a challenge I've been actively working on, but I can't resist giving it a try - even half way through the year. I am clearly needing to fill quite a few alphabet spaces, so any author / book suggestions for the (as yet) unrepresented letters would be welcome.

Here's what I've read so far.  
               * Authors / titles in blue are still-to-be-read books from an overlapping challenge.
               * Authors / titles in red are much appreciated recommendations.
               * Authors / titles in green are what I'm reading currently.
