My first favorite sci Fi writer was Harlan Ellison although he hated being called a sci Fi writer and would rather just be called a writer. Some of the best short stories I've ever read are by the late Mr. Ellison. He's probably best known for writing A Boy And His Dog, I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream and the original screenplay for the classic Star Trek episode City On The Edge Of Forever. Listening to Mr. Ellison speak of Japanese sci fi author Kobo Abe led me to reading his books. My favorite stories from Kobo Abe are The Box Man, Inter Ice Age 4 and The Kangaroo Notebook. I'm also a fan of Hyperion by Dan Simmons. When it comes to fantasy it's definitely the Robert E. Howard stuff, especially Conan, and the Elric saga by Michael Moorcock. Lastly I really love the Kane series of books by Karl Edward Wagner. 👍😎

I'm reading Hyperion now! I hadn't heard of it, I just picked it up on a whim at the book store when I felt like getting a sci fi novel. It stood out from the others for me for some reason. So far I like it more than other sci fi novels I've tried. The part where The Priest tells his story is very good. Now I'm at the second story, The Soldier, which isn't as good so far.
