Barnes & Noble is Lacking

Today after I had finished up at school I decided to head over to my local Barnes & Noble. It has been quite some time since I had been over there, plus the Starbucks that is inside has those fantastic pumpkin spice drinks this time of year.

Anyway I go in and start looking for something from Jack Vance. Nothing. OK, they have to have something by Poul Anderson right? Nope. Alright, alright.. Clark Ashton Smith? Nadda. By this point I was unsure if I was in a book store or some kind of hipster meeting ground. Finally I look for some Michael Moorcock. Elric finally appears. I looked it over but at that point I was kind of getting irritated by the lack of selection their Fantasy section had.

As I was standing in the Fantasy/Sci Fi section I began looking at all the new stuff and I realized I have no idea what is good any more. Who are good authors nowadays? Does anyone know?

If your curious I didn't end up picking any books up but I did have a damn good pumpkin spice frappucino which made up for the trip.
