Hah. I love the bizarre crap that comes out of sci-fi authors, especially Robert Bloch’s “I have the heart of a little boy. I keep it in a jar. On my desk.” (Yes, I’m aware Stephen King said it. Bloch said it first.)
@...boxzor: I wouldn’t say “THE” master, but one of the upper tier masters (plural). @...rattybad: Asimov is a great SF primer. The stories are light, but with 500+ non-fiction works, the science is solid. I had fun reading the whole foundation series (“I, Robot” and on) on a long summer in junior high.
Just goes to show another reason why sf is so much better than other literature.
Have at it!

Heinlein is the shit, though.
ALL GLORY TO THE GRANDMASTER OF SCI FI
@...boxzor: No, no…that would be Asimov.
People would write him asking for help on homework? Wow.
i grok win
@...Paul_Is_Drunk: Sturgeon mightily did. Who else?
Sci-fi is my favourite genre, but seriously, the Grand Master is Stanislaw Lem, not Asimov, not Heinlein, not Clarke (tho I enjoy them very much).
Give it a try, he’s very good indeed, you’ll be surprised.
HAHA! I am in the middle of re-reading Methuselah’s Children. I love this man.
