[Edric O]

Hmmmm, why should I? Herbert isn't my favourite author. ;) Now I'll go and look for Kim Stanley Robinson in the poll...

[Mahdi]

Robinson? No way, so dry and boring...

[quoudam72]

Isaac Asimov should be higher in the poll and I hate those elfs and trolls.

[Edric O]

The Mars trilogy is my fav sci-fi series... And I don't find Robinson the least bit boring! You have to admit he puts a lot of scientific detail in his descriptions...

[exatreide]

here is how it should be

1. Herbert

2.Asimov

3. that guy edric o was talking about

there is evreone happy?

I am curently on hereitics of dune wich is not very bad for me being 13 :) . i have read 2 books of asimov caves of steal and red sun.

I think the preqils of dune get a bad rap. they are prety good. and they are the only new dune books we have had in 20 some years. i am the only one in my school who is not reading some red wall book. i am also the only one reading any good science fiction :) . I am the other exatreides i'm just at a relitves house and i dont know how to log in here can any one help me???

At this time Herbert is now in 5th place. Edric that author Kim Stanley Robinson I did not find on the list of names. What are some of the written titles by this person.

[the_baron99]

5th place!ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[Edric O]

I can't find Robinson either... :(

He wrote the Mars Trilogy, meaning:

Red Mars

Green Mars

Blue Mars

...and he also wrote a few other novels that I didn't get to read yet. ;)

[quoudam72]

I almost bought that Mars Trilogy not too long ago. I still plan to purchase it. It's looks to be very interesting. Oh by the way Herbert is now 4th.

[Guest Hayt989]

3rd PLACE BABY YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

[fedaykin_jatin]

found blue mars to be boring... .liked the mars trilogy on the whole. but prefer dune

[peseverance]

Who the **** is this bastard?

1. Tolkien, J.R.R.

Shit

Asimov should be #1 no offese to Frank Herbert

but Asimov made the Foundation Series and the Robot Series

(IF only he hasd continued with Foundation more)

Where is Stephen Baxter?

What about Peter F. Hamilton???

*I take the comment on Tolkien back.... Lord of the Rings eh? not bad...*

hey Tom Clancy Isn't Sci-Fibut if they insist he should be way higheR!@!!!

this poll is whacky!!!!!!

[peseverance]

Hey cool Blaine Lee Pordoe

I wonder if Micheal A. Stackpole is there

hhhmmmm Where the heck is Micheal Chricton?????

shit you gotta love that man's book

BTW I won't vote.... too many authors have mine :D

[Mahdi]

hmm, it won't let me sign in, strange...

Anyway, the only one of Chrictens books I really liked was timeline. The rest weren't that good (imho).

[bob_fox]

Phill, who cares? Frank Herbert is dead :(. So is Isaac Asimov :(.

[quoudam72]

And their works are still better than anyone else not bad for a couple of dead guys. Huh?

[Guest Leto Atreides II]

On a side note, Herbert is sort of an anti-Asimov. The Foundation series is basically about the ultimate triumph of technology & science. Herbert's earlier works, and to a slightly lesser degree Dune as well, are about the unreliability of science and technology, and how you can't tailor a surprise-free future for yourself. Read Timothy O'Reilly's "Frank Herbert" for some interesting insights into Herberts work.

[peseverance]

cool

but in Foundation the humans lost.....

the invasion has already started and the person to save the humans was too late.... read the last part where they talked about the mentor... he was an alien from another species.... Technology didn't win

[ackbar]

i can't believe tolkien has such a commanding lead. id take fremen over hobbits any day.

[quoudam72]

It's only because the movie is coming out this winter. Damn elfs and trolls they should only be allowed out at Halloween.

[ackbar]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[peseverance]

lol

Trolls and elfs are boring.. too peaceful i figure...... i hope the show has them with Sniper Rifles and stuff

[thomas]
