Quiztzhadrch picked Ben Bova :
I've read all of Asimov's robot series and Foundation novels.. years ago. I just picked Bova this time because I like the fact his stories have very ethnicaly diverse characters, not just anglo. Props to McDevitt for CHINDI, which I recommend strongly.

The Uglies series is amazing! Westerfeld can create such a vivid, believable science fiction world.

shomill picked Robert Heinlein:
My favorite is Have Space Suit, Will Travel (the book in the picture), and my second favorite is Tunnel in the Sky.

Never really cared for Stranger in a Strange Land, though (too wierd).

PrinceKiseki picked Robert Heinlein:
I agree that Stranger in a Strange Land is a bit disagreeable.
I think Heinlein had a hippie moment while writing that.

Quiztzhadrch picked Ben Bova :
Looks like Phillip K. Dick was added from the last time I voted.. I would've chosen DICK then. I mean, I guess you could say I vote for DICK... well, I mean, I like DICK. Um,.. that didn't sound right.. let's just say I PREFFER Dick. Um,.. I mean, Dick is my fav- never mind, I'll stay with Bova.

Mony-Black38 picked Philip K. Dick:
Philip K. Dick was a genius, but i love also Isaac Asimov, Michael Crichton, Robert Heinlein, Douglas Adams, Frank Herbert, HG Wells and Jules Verne! Jules Verne was my favorite sci-fi writer when I was a kid!

Nric picked Isaac Asimov:
My favorite authors is Isaac Asimov, Barry Longyear and Arthur Clarke. Douglas Addams has a very fun stories, Francis Carsac wrote the best robinsonade. I like ideas of Stanisław Lem about reasonable ocean, William Kotzwinkle wrote a cool book based on a movie, Kir Bulychov my favorite author in childhood.
