MRE Authors, A-F

I have many more authors on my Must Read Everything Author lists in my head and on paper
than appear on the lists below; it could take a lifetime to compile all the spreadsheets I would
need for them and that would interfere with GSRT (Good Solid Reading Time). Still, this is a start!
