I did a little poking around ... it looks like the meme began here. The original list:
Terry Pratchett Lisa Williams Charles Dickens Hal Clement Diane Duane Ian Stewart Carl Jung Abraham Maslow Dava Sobel Stephen Hawking
The only one that's on my list is Terry Pratchett (I have books by some of the others, but they weren't on Schwa's list and aren't on mine). However, Mr. Pratchett's been removed and added from various peoples' lists along the line a couple of times ...
The author on my list that has the longest unbroken chain leading up to me is J.R.R. Tolkien, with my post making the chain nine links long, if I counted right.
