The "crown jewel" of Yahoo's "Books" page, however, is the listing under "Authors." Over 100 literary authors are listed from Shakespeare to Tom Robbins and from Jane Austen to Joyce Carol Oates. Select the Samuel Clemens entry and you find online versions of his short stories, essays, and novels, famous Mark Twain quotes, syllabi and resources for teachers, a "Twain Tour" of Hannibal, Missouri and a link to TWAIN-L, the electronic discussion group devoted to Twain's life and writings.

Anne Rice's web page includes copies of her newsletter to fans entitled "Commotion Strange" and complete transcripts of recent interviews. J.R.R. Tolkien's homepage contains a "Tolkien Timeline," a "Tolkien Language List" which has "resources for Tolkien linguists," and "Middle-Earth and the Movies" which includes discussion of past and future cinematic endeavors relating to Tolkien.
