When I was creating my list I thought about adding Asimov, Heinlein and Hebert, but to me, even though I've read every book all three of those published, they felt less like literature and more like just a good read. For example, Grapes of Wrath, great read, just as a fun thing to do, but also lots of deeper stuff in there. Bradbury was a SciFi author who had that deeper stuff too. Not so much Heinlein and Hebert. Heinlein is probably my absolute favorite author ever. Time Enough for Love, Stranger in a Strange Land. Great novels. Have there ever been more interesting characters than Michael Valentine Smith and Lazarus Long? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total loser who is deliberately leaving GOT fans hanging. He’s never going to finish the story. Dudes a tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dric902 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Fans want him to turn out a thousand page book every month so they get their fix. when he was at a convention and all the cultists were begging him to “please lose some weight and take care of yourself. We don’t want you to die before you finish the series” he got pissed and told them to f*ck right off Edited February 26, 2021 by Dric902 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
