I like reading a lot, and there are many writers that I like, it's just that the two above(and bellow) were around recently so I've done some research about them. This page should be heavily developed in the future, at least ad more links to the real stuff.
My favorite writter is Terry Pratchett.
I like SF, like Clark, Asimov, Pohl, Anderson,...
One of the best books I've read is "The Ring" by Daniel Keys Moran. It's like life, there are no perfect charters, nothing happens perfectly,... Read it if you can, you wont be sorry..... They say it is the authors worst book, but I can't say 'cause I haven't been able to get others.
Arthur Charles Clark is one of the greatest SF writers.
You probably know about the Space Odyssey (there are movies about 2001 and 2010).
Actually it started with the movie 2001:A Space Odyssey (and the book
is basically how they made the it), but the story is really being developed
in 2010, 2061 and 3001:The Final Odyssey.
Other interesting stuff include the Ramah serial (starting with Rendezvous with
Ramah), and many other books and stories.
Frederic Pohl is probably best known for the 'Gateway' serial of books. I've read the first three of them. There are many interesting ideas in these book, a lot of psychology, cosmology,... There are some stuff that he didn't predicted (like mobile communications, artificial body parts,...) but basically it's good.
I should really mention 'The Lord of The Rings' by
J.R.R. Tolkien. I read the books and I think that the movies aren't bad either.
There is a lot of work behind them. They could have been better, but nothing
is perfect. I least liked the last one, sometimes it seemed like they were loosing
paitence for shooting:)
