Just thought I’d see who you like. I’m a die hard sci-fi-er.

Roger Zelazny tops my list, his Amber series is my all time favorite series. On the whole I prefer his early work (This Immortal, Dilvish the Damned), rather than his late collaborations…when he paired with another author I think he put out some garabage (especially his posthumous work).

Roger is closely Followed by:

Isaac Aasimov
Robert Silverburg
Larry Niven
Orson Scott Card
and Arthur C. Clarke

I am always looking for good Sci-Fi authors to read…so if you have some that are noteworthy…please share :stuck_out_tongue:

Terry Pratchett

Lol, there are some other authors of course, but he’s certainly my all time favourite.

3

Anthony Burgess <3

4

Thomas Hardy all the way!

Oh, and of course Chesterton.


(sorry they’re not not sci-fi… how about Bradbury?)

5

J.D. Salinger

Of what my friend calls “The Three Bs: Brin, Baxter, Baer”, I’m most fond of the last two. I tried Brin once, and found the experience so aversive that I’ve not ever tried to read him again.

Hmm… I guess I’d have to say Alexandre Dumas and Jane Austen.

8

Very hard question to answer…I’d have to say Wilbur Smith or Colleen McCullough.

I read only Latin and at this moment in time only Ovid!
