Asimov, followed closely by Arthur C. Clarke (ummmm, why is he not on this list) and Stephen Baxter.

I voted other. As far as scarcely credible depictions of other worldly strangeness and far fetched alien landscapes hitherto untrodden by Beatle boot, it's gotta be Moshkito.

Of these, Heinlein but mostly for nostaligic reasons (Bradbury was a a more visually inspiring writer). Also, Arthur C. Clarke has been mentioned several times in this thread and really should be on the list.
Would Vonnegut count? If so I would vote for him. Edited by ClemofNazareth - June 17 2014 at 11:59 |

Although there are too many to mention, some of the best are listed here. I'm very partially to Dan Simmons after reading the extraordinary Hyperion Cantos series. Love your Shrike icon, Brufordfreak

Zelazny. The Amber series is based upon a true story. |

I was actually fishing for recommendations myself as I'd like to start reading his work! Trouble is, he's done so much that it's difficult to figure out where to start. How was Faerie Tale for you? |

The Riftwar Saga is so vast though, I might need to book a whole summer off for that one On another note, I just finished Assassin's Apprentice, first book of Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy. I can honestly say that it's one of the best books I've ever read, in and out of the fantasy genre. Highly recommended! |
