There have been quite a few references to various science authors and themes amongst the many messages so I just wondered how many of us still read the stuff and who your favourite authors are.
I learnt to read around the age of 4 with science fiction and have kept the addiction going my whole life.
In my early teens it was Robert Heinlein, Issac Asimov, Arther C Clarke, Brian Aldiss, Poul Anderson and Clifford Simak, late teens it was frank Herbert, Hal Clement, E C Tubb and of course Phillip K Dick with subscriptions to Galaxy, Analogue and If (I still have my collection of these pulps)
There have been so many throughout all the following years that its impossible to recall them all but I'm still avidly devouring them as I come upon them obtaining that sense of wonder and thought provoking ideas.
Such as Neil Asher, Peter Hamilton, and on and on and on.
Yes, I am addicted and have been all my life.
