Haven't read fiction in many years but when I did Anne McCaffrey was probably the closest thing I had to a favorite. Loved the Pern books.

Damn, man, you’re missing out on the best sci-fi ever written. Asimov’s works are incredibly entertaining. His are science based. No fantasy
Agree...
Foundation and Empire might be the greatest two sci-fi stories in one book...
The problem is that of you've watched a bunch of futurama, it might taint your imagination as you read it...
I read it when I was 9
Second Foundation is excellent, too...
shite is like Scanners

Philip K. Dick is my favorite. Ellison and Silverberg are great too.
I'll add Clifford Simak and Theodore Sturgeon to the list. Very innovative guys for the time period they were writing in.
