I was going to comment on Wombat's "the bible should
be part of it" and ask if he was including that in the
fiction part of things,

You know me better than that. ^^ I was thinking that it belongs in the larger canon of Western civilization, of which SF&F is only a part, because (like Shakespeare) so much of what comes after it draws on it, often in ways we're not conscious of.

Your point about fans needing to be aware of the not-so-good stuff is a valid one, too. Lots of the stuff I like (Saberhagen, Laumer, Christopher Anvil, David Drake, etc.) isn't award winning literature by anyone's definition, but it's still good entertainment, tasty brain candy. The Thomas Covenant novels (well, the first ones, anyway) definitely fall into that category.
