Oh, come now!!! Really? I have not read these books, and I am now inclined, but you are putting this guy ahead of Tolkien, Ellison, Bradbury, Hubbard and Asimov" Really? Sorry but IDFTS (Translation "I don't fucking think so") Hate to differ with you on this point as we usually agree but really? How about Lewis Carroll and Jules Verne? And "King"? I could go on...
I am floored by this!!
And "Alas, I thought I knew you so well" LOL LOL LOL
