My Read Author List, part 2: L-Z

Here's a list of authors I've read throughout the years, from L-Z.  I'll be reintroducing the genre/subgenre codes for this list, too. Please let me know your thoughts on who you've read or who you haven't read. I'll be adding new authors at the end of every month in this same blog post. New: Each new author will be underlined for one month, every time I update my list.
