Here, I'll make it slightly easier to do the reading and give you authors to work with. (They're in sequence, more or less, as I went down the quote list.)
Darkhawk - a friend
A Civil Campaign - Lois McMaster Bujold Memory - Lois McMaster Bujold Diplomatic Immunity - Lois McMaster Bujold Tam Lin - Pamela Dean Folk of the Ear - Greg Bear Native Tongue - Suzette Haden Elgin War for the Oaks - Emma Bull Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card "This Fair Gift" - Pamela Dean (short story) Deep Wizardry - Diane Duane The Steel Rose - Kara Dalkey Gate of Darkness, Circle of Light - Tanya Huff The Silver Chair - C.S. Lewis Gossamer Axe - Gael Baudino Jack the Giant-Killer (now in a duobound book called Jack of Kinrowan): Charles de Lint The Neverending Story - Michael Ende (and if you haven't read it, I really recommend tracking down the hardcover that has different color inks - many libraries had it when I read it originally.) Curse of Chalion - Lois McMaster Bujold Paladin of Souls - Lois McMaster Bujold Horse and His Boy - C.S. Lewis Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe - C.S. Lewis Locked Rooms - Laurie King
The first Bujolds listed are part of a long series, generally referred to as the Miles Vorkosigan books - the ones quoted from are all quite a long way into the series. Curse of Chalion/Paladin of Souls are a different series: they're easier to read independently, and there's one other note quoted from here.
Likewise, the Laurie King _Locked Rooms_ is the current end of a 8 book series (though there's another one due out in 09)
