Thanks for the suggestions!
Poul Anderson is an old favourite and I agree The Broken Sword is excellent. I too found it somewhat similar to a Norse Saga, which I guess may have provided it some additional brownie points at the time.
Wagner is unknown to me apart from his name, but I'll certainly hunt down the Kane series. Sounds like my kind of thing.
Conan I do know, if only from the comics I used to devour as a boy. I've got the books (or some of them - no idea how many there are) too though; I just haven't gotten around to reading any of them yet.
Alfred Bester is another unknown, only this time I've heard the title mentioned. Couldn't have come up with the author if my life depended on it though. I'll be sure to locate The Stars my Destination as well, since it definitely sounds like something I'd enjoy. As for making me uncomfortable....I highly doubt it. However, should it manage to do so, I'll take that as a very rare bonus.
