Instructions: Take this list of authors of non-fiction and not of textbooks. Students: if it's not an actual textbook with, like problem sets in it? it's not a textbook. If it's a book used for a course about fiction or literature, it's not non-fiction. Anthologies of lit don't count as non-fiction. Remove those whose efforts do not grace your shelves, and bring the list up to ten by adding some more that do. New paragraph indicates newly-added authors. Titles of works in question are optional.
