              Ah here we go, the original author who started the Conan series was Robert Ervin Howard who was born in Texas in 1906 and committed suicide in 1936 at theage of 30. During his short life 18 Conan books were published but he left many unfinished works behind which were finished later by L.Sprague De Camp with the help also of a few others. ;)

                        Actually it would have been easier I think to list the bad ones myself as they don't get far in this category. ;)

                            Woohoo
                            Someone else likes Robert Heinlein!

                            I like Asimov, but I must say that his robot series annoys me! I don't think that I have ever read one that I REALLY liked. The Foundation series, on the other hand, rocks!

                            My $.02

                              All of the above and
                              Michael Moor****
                              Raymond Fiest
                              but my fav of all time is David and Leigh Eddings, followed closely by Anne McCaffrey :thumb:
