Michael Moorcock Reading Guide

on
Michael Moorcock invented Multiverse. His multiverse joins every novel, short story he wrote. Even when going outside his fields of writing. Of course he is most known for Elric there are a lot of them, Hawkhood, Von Beck, Corum, Cornelius and Earl Aubec. I've read several of this novels & short stories but my gaol it's go all in.. I know he is a odd ball. Some novels are crap, other's his anarchist way of life show a lot, well to be honest most of them. But alas I really enjoy Elric (but I only read 3 of his novels).
