So good.<br /><br />My favorites are Alastair Reynolds and Stephen Baxter... and Verner Vingie... although only Reynolds is consistently great IMO. The other two either give works of genius or they are total dreck. <br /><br />Rusty Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887821877521181811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-89219037602172258572013-11-20T16:59:51.213-06:002013-11-20T16:59:51.213-06:00Oh my, I'm very, very SciFi illiterate. I'...Oh my, I'm very, very SciFi illiterate. I've never read any of these authors. It's great that you have so many favorites that you could go on and on. <br /><br />Hey, I got your note at my place about winning one of your books but...I'm not sure I did. Mary didn't mention it to me. So, not that I wouldn't love one, but I'd feel bad taking it if I didn't actually win it, you know?

...Crystal, I hope you find something to your taste.<br /><br />Andrew, I thought about including Asimov, but technically he's not in my personal book collection. (My husband has--or had--some of Asimov's books in hardcover.) If I was doing an all-time greatest list, I would definitely include Asimov. Russell's The Sparrow was also good--and I got to see her at WisCon many years ago.Sandra Ulbrich Almazanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365908651235829765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-36278198221617722612013-11-20T12:47:20.575-06:002013-11-20T12:47:20.575-06:00I've read 4 of those authors.

But I won't get started on that.<br /><br />Robinson's Mars series is great and The Doomsday Book is one of my favorites.<br /><br />However, I don't think any sci-fi list is complete without Asimov, and my number one on my own list would have to be Mary Doria Russell for The Sparrow.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-43626302294328331482013-11-20T11:01:58.104-06:002013-11-20T11:01:58.104-06:00Wow, so many new books to check out.
