R.A. Heinlein - A-1 top drawer author - amazingly enough, I've not read the 2 you mention, but I devoured his short story collections in my youth - Bradbury kinda bored me after discovering Heinlein...
Also check out Arthur C Clarke's "The City & the Stars"

Now that sounds like a book written especially for me

For the Archaeolgy buffs,
Down Behind The Pyramids, By Musthafa Crapp.


For the Ladies a short story 170 pages,way better than the movie
Bridges of Madison County,


For the Guys any thing by Immanuel Velikovsky

Sci-fi rules
 

QTPie,

I too have this Beaver thing.

Heinlein's fun, but treats women badly.

Asimov's awesome.

I discovered Asimov's Foundation on the shelf and seeing as several people mentioned it, i thought i would give it a go. Well, I've tried to read it three times and I've only gotten to about page 20....i keep falling asleep each time. Oh well, I'll try again when I'm not so tired. It's not the easiest book to read though.

Legend

The Foundation series is not to be read like a Western.

It is the Fall of the Roman Empire revisited with a number

of wrinkles.

Asimov was exploring subtleties when he write it, along with

putting a lot of words on paper. At 2c per word, he had a

young family to support.

blk cat, shame! What's ancient Egyptian for pooper-scooper?

Zoid
 

Not read "Time enough for Love" or "Stranger in a Strange

Land"?

Gave up after "The Moon is a harsh Mistress"?

Reading McCaffrey's latest dragon book. Comments?

Re: Zoid
 

sorry... like I said, got into RAH's short story stuff during & after HS, never got around to any of his novels... so maybe I should have stayed back from this thread, since I don't read much fiction anymore... far too busy being a Renaissance Man w/o profit in my own land...

1. the bible
2. anything by piers anthony
3.Spock's World(don't know who wrote it)
4.'' Left behind'' series
5. the tarzan series by e. r. burroughs
these are ones i could read 5 or 9 times, some i have!:)

The Bible, in all it's variations...probably the best book ever written.

never read it....is it good?

According to many, it is! Might want to try it sometimes ;) ;) :D

Try and get the video.
