    Isaac Asimov-all time favorite (who would guess)

    For poetic prose (interesting term)
    I go to
    Ray Bradbury

    those two are probably my two favorites.

    I'm actually surprised my favorite (Douglas Adams) is listed. How do you fly? You fall down and forget to hit the ground, of course! What's the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything? 42! If you don't understand the answer, perhaps you don't know what the question is.

    Strangely enough, I also like Charles Addams (of Addams Family fame).

    I've been going back to the roots of Sci-fi, so its a tie: Philip K. Dick, Isaac Asimov, H.G. Wells, Jules Verne.
