Favourite SF writers, that's a tough one. Off the top of my head:
Philip K. Dick
Roger Zelazny
R. A. Lafferty
Robert Sheckley
Ray Bradbury
Iain M. Banks
although I'm not sure some of those shouldn't be changed since come of their best books weren't science Fiction - Zelazny, for example.

Parody Classic Comics Thread Titles (this used to be a thing people would do on the old CBR boards. I never got into much myself, but every now and then as I skim through the board, one pops into my head, sometimes through a momentary misreading of the actual title):
1. Berate the Byrne/Claremont X-Men Run
2. Have you ever expectorated on a comic?
3. What Classic Comics have You Purloined Lately?
4. Statue report - or, What are you sculpting right now?
5. Ask a trick question here ...
6. Am I the only Pussycat who doesn't like Celery? (makes no sense, scraping the bottom of the barrel now ...)
...

Favorite Science Fiction Writers
Robert Heinlein
Roger Zelazny
Clifford Simak
Isaac Asimov
Alfred Bester
Fredric Brown
Philip Jose Farmer
Philip K. Dick
Michael Moorcock
Murray Leinster.
Caveat. Ray Bradbury is my favorite author. And Fahrenheit 451 is my favorite book of all time. However, I feel that very little of his work is actually science fiction.
The same is true of Burroughs.
If I were to include those two they would be number one and number two.

This is pretty easy for me because there's only two that I've watched from start to finish: 1) Best Student Council 2) Kill La Kill I've seen most of Ouran High School Host Club because my niece likes it and I find it hilarious. The Zuka Club ROOLZ! And I've also seen a lot of Hetalia because my niece likes that too but it seems to go on forever with no plot or direction of any kind, so I have no idea of how much of it I've seen. |

Going into full-on "get off my lawn" mode now that I'm a year older ...
Posting patterns that ensure I'll unfollow if not block you on Facebook
(1) Conservative political crap, especially if linked to from some far-Right site that really should have the honesty to run all its garbage in German
(2) Religious crap, especially if you're trying to collect prayers the way kids used to collect pogs (if you worship a god who determines your or someone else's health, happiness, etc. by counting the number of prayers you're able to generate, you probably need to rethink your entire philosophy of life, you silly drama queen)
(3) Anything that even hints at the fact that you not only watch reality TV but take it at all seriously
(4) Anything that tells me you plan large chunks of your obviously empty life around watching some stupid TV show, reality or otherwise
(5) Constant college football crap
(6) For that matter, pretty much any sports crap that isn't baseball
(7) Endless selfies
(8) Constant rhapsodizing about whatever & wherever you had to eat (there are FB groups for that; I used to be on a gigantic one [10,000th member will be added in a matter of days] here in Montgomery)
(9) Constant rhapsodizing about wherever the hell you went on your vacation & whatever the hell you did
(10) Constant rhapsodizing about the virtues of some commercial product, whether it's the latest Apple roll-out or your favorite brand of horse pi- I mean beer

His other classic book is The Demolished Man. Actually I like it a bit better than The Stars My Destination. But I'm in the minority there. Virtual Unrealities: The Short Fiction of Alfred Bester collects most of his short SF. He wasn't terribly prolific in writing SF. His "day job" was as senior editor of Holiday Magazine. But those two novels are among the best SF ever. |
