Poll: Favorite Sci-fi Author

[jimmy509]

Arthur C. Clarke, but out of the poll choices I would have to go with Asimov. Foundation is the only average length book I read in one sitting because I was so enthralled.

I nominate Orson Scott Card.

I second that.

Asimov is my favorite, but I definitely do not read enough sci fi to have a very educated opinion for this poll. Foundation series rules though.

Thirding this. Card's 'Ender' series was sheer freaking BRILLIANCE, and the 'Shadow' series made me cry like a little girl by the end.

However, Douglas Adams is, and always will be, my favorite sci-fi author. The quotes i've picked up from his books, and their philosophies, make me a very happy little Earth-person.

Well, in the absence of Arthur C. Clarke or Larry Niven...

Jules Verne. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Journey to the Center of the Earth were awesome.

Lovecraft was science fantasy or cosmic horror if anything.

And where is Robert Heinlein or Clark?
