My preference is for what I call *sociological science fiction* that explores life and people within a future context or within the context of paranormal abilities. Just goes to show how much "different strokes" applies to sf...I like my SF hard as diamond. Give me a story that gives details of life in the first second after the Big Bang (with discussions of the physics of such life as part of the story!) and I'm happy as a clam.

And D-v-d G-rr-ld's name will never be uttered by me until he finishes the damn Chtorr series.I was going to make a similar statement, until I saw you had already covered it. And you know what? He is never, ever going to finish it! It's obvious he has no intention of ever even trying. I plan on finding and desecrating his grave, if I outlive him.
To: Kip Russell
I have great ideas, I might be on the list if I could actually write. lol

James Blish should be somewhere in that list. Allen Steele and Spider Robinson need honorable mentions.Agree about Blish. Clifford Simak deserves mention for City.

No “honorable mention” at least for Poul Anderson? James Blish? Marion Zimmer Bradley? John Brunner? Henry Kuttner? Keith Laumer? Anne McCaffrey? Clifford Simak? A.E. VanVogt? Disagree with excluding Roger Zelazny. And my personal favorites that would be on my list but probably few others: A. Bertram Chandler, Ron Goulart, Lloyd Biggle Jr. & G. C. Edmondson

I plan on finding and desecrating his grave, if I outlive him. Well....you can travel to Spokane, WA in August 2015 for Worldcon and tell him yourself.. He's one of the Guests of Honor

I guess that Greg Bear is too much science in Sci-Fi for him to be included.
But Edgar Rice Burrows should be on there too, even if he seems to be somewhat anachronistic.
