Authors known by their initials

This Sunday's NYT crossword asked for the second "R" in "J.R.R. Tolkien," to which I drew a blank. It reminded me that decades ago in college I compiled a list of authors known by their first two initials. I've never updated it. And I suspect I've left out quite a few...

A.A. Fair, A.A. Milne, A.B. Guthrie, Jr., A.E. Houseman, C.P. Snow, C.S. Lewis, D.H. Lawrence, E.B. White, e.e. Cummings, E.M. Forster, G.K. Chesterton, H.G. Wells, H.L. Mencken, H.P. Lovecraft, J.B. Priestley, J.D. Salinger, J.M. Barrie, J.R.R. Tolkien, P.G. Wodehouse, T.E. Lawrence, T.H. White, T.S. Eliot, V.S. Pritchett, W.H. Auden.
