Yes, yes, and yes, though I have no idea which Norton book I'd include.

Ha, I was thinking about adding Lackey - not the Magic books, those are freaking depressing (no matter how influential) but yeah, Oathbound. Or which were the ones with the ~soulbond~? The Arrow books? Man, it's been a long time.

Western-centricness is a major concern for the bookclub list, too - time to do some research.
