Just bought Iliad and Odyssey, and ordered some Conan books on eBay... Howard's versions. I'm re-reading some of this old stuff for reference. Tolkien's work I've read enough times but I did get a reading list from his influences. I intend to Read as much as Write to keep training myself on what works and what doesn't.
To that point, I am finishing up King's Dark Tower now. One thing I learned from Dark Tower is to not use generational references from "our world" to explain things... or to quote within the narrative what was the inspiration for a scene. I hope to do better!
