Who is your favorite science fiction author?
does your name “Pug” come from the Ray Feist character?Need a choice between plain ol’ Niven and the Niven with Pournel (however you spell that) combo. I like the combo.
Your question is toughter than it appears! Originally, when I was Pug on Beliefnet, it was because, sadly, I named myself after a dog. But, someone there asked your same question, and I had to concede that I had liked Pug and those books and thought that was a cool idea. So, I chose the same handle here as I had there, but you’ll have to figure out if it is still after the dog, or if I have stepped up in class a bit to the character, or if I am merely lazy and named myself after myself.does your name “Pug” come from the Ray Feist character?
I read the Riftwar series years ago and remember liking it even though it was not s.f.

I can’t believe you didn’t put Arthur C. Clarke down as a choice. But for me, it would have been a tossup between him and Asimov. For recent stuff, Niven and Pournelle are pretty darned good.Who is your favorite science fiction author?

Same here. I voted for Asimov, though, but it’d be hard to choose between them, even though I haven’t read that many of each of their books. I really liked 2001: A Space Odyssey, Childhood’s End, and Rendevous with Rama.I can’t believe you didn’t put Arthur C. Clarke down as a choice.
