Friedman, while excellent, is predominantly considered SF (well, so are Drake and Weber, truth to tell). Note I didn't include C.J. Cherryh either. Or many other quite good cross-genre authors. It's not meant to be a comprehensive list. I did say something about it being, ah, non-scientific? That's a weasel word for "inaccurate" or "non-comprehensive".
I didn't include authors like Lewis and Tolkien deliberately. They aren't currently writing. That in no way lessens the merit of their works. Perhaps I should have mentioned why I chose the list I did. But, hey, it's my list. heh
Cheers!
