Are any of you into fantasy or science fiction ho are your favorite authors?

I've read the posts here, and there are listed many of the authors I grew up with and loved reading. Sci-fi and Sci-fantasy were my alltime favorites since jr high school.

The author I like a lot, but hasn't been mentioned is Phillip Jose Farmer.

For some reason, his writing created some of the most vivid and genuine-feeling worlds in my imagination.

I thought the bugs were kewl, a lot like I'd envisioned them when I read the book and that never happens when I read the book first.

I tried off and on a number of times throughout life to read Tolkien's Rings and just couldn't stay with it. After I saw the movies I was not only able to get through the books but I enjoyed them immensely. I'm glad I read The Hobbit first (and admit to being stalled at the beginning of the Silmarillion).

I haven't seen the movie yet but I've been enjoying the first season of the series. Outlaw cowboys in space, what could be cornier? But they've put it together well, I think. Will they bring the series back?

Unlikely, the ratings stunk and even the fan base wasn't enough to make the film a success at the box office.

I come "late" to these kind of writings.

Separating sci fi for a second from fantasy writing, what is the strong attraction to fantasy writings in particular? What's the passion?

Status: offline 		Someone once suggested on another site that a taste for sci-fi is a BDSM trait.... lol I guess I'm the "real-deal" then as I quite enjoy my sci-fi.

So, the really tight cossie that Seven of Nine wears in Voyager - you suppose it's indicative that she enjoys bondage?

And I thought both Starship Troopers and the Robocop movies were better than their B grade tag.... Both had excellent black humour scenes in them. I still laugh when I think of the "Magnavolt" car alarm ad in Robocop....

Focus.

Yes.

Myself frankly. I think I write what I like better than anyone else.

But in terms of other authors I like Octavia Butler and Anne Bishop quite a bit. Asimov is still one of my favorites as well.
