Where I get my bitchin' eyeglass frames
My favorite authors (yes, heavy on the Fantasy/Sci-Fi... I like what I like):
Stephen R. Donaldson - Thomas Covenant has been a character stuck in my craw since first reading
China Mieville - This guy made me slow my reading down and raise my comprehension to absorb his truly alien worlds that explored truly human issues.
Charles Stross - His blog is as good as his books. Read the Laundry Files series for bonkers fun... all the other space opera sci-fi is nerdy bliss... and occasionally bonkers.
Piers Anthony - I grew up on the Xanth series, then Apprentice Adept, and Bio of a Space Tyrant. All classics.
Wesley Chu - Best "alien invasions" stories I've ever read.
Frank Herbert - After Tolkien and Asimov, you were probably gonna read, and love, Dune.
J. R. R. Tolkien - What nerdy, Gen X, teenage boy didn't read The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings?
Robert A. Heinlein - Stranger in a Strange Land was a book with a big impact on how I viewed other people and our variety of belief systems.
Dr. Seuss - Even as an adult, all of Ted's books are as touching as they are whimsical.
Isaac Asimov - One of the original master of sci-fi, inspiring so many reader to become writers, scientists, astronauts... and all dreamers of something more than what we were living in.
... and more coming
Consider supporting Wikipedia (I do). It's not perfect, but it a reasonable starting point for finding out more about most things... better than anyone else's fucking nightmarish AI monstrosities right now! Besides, if Elon Musk (and many of the right wingnuts) hates it so much, it must be doing something right.
