borroff's Journal: Must Read Science Fiction Authors

Must Read Science Fiction authors (in no particular order):

RAH (If you have to ask...)
Roger Zelazny
The Killer B's:
Greg Bear
Gregory Benford
David Brin

Isaac Asimov
Larry Niven
Jerry Pournelle
Neal Stephenson
Bruce Sterling
William Gibson
Vernor Vinge
John Varley

There are many other good ones (Spinrad, Cherryh), but these really define my tastes. The jury's still out on Ken Macleod, Steve Barnes, Peter Hamilton.
