Your Favorite Author's Favorite Authors

Here's how it works:
a famous book -> a less famous influence -> a famous book -> a less famous influence
a famous book -> a less famous influence -> a famous book -> a less famous influence
a famous book -> a less famous influence -> a famous book -> a less famous influence
so on, so forth.
Also sorry this is mostly white men, I had a hard time coming up with influences for other authors. I would love to hear about them though if someone wants to do the research.
