Which Science Fiction Writer Are You? April 21, 2007

There a nifty little quiz I just came across that helps you determine which Science Fiction writer you’d like be. 
Mine came up with Gregory Benford.
Certainly not a bad option but not what I would have thought.
Now if you were to ask me which SciFi writer would I aspire to be like that’s an easy one.
Asimov hands down.
It is Asimov’s Empire stories and the the Foundation series that first lit the SciFi spark for me.
Asimov had a personality that just enlivened and enriched everything he wrote. You can feel the masters presence in each page and with each page you want to read more.
It is a gift that will always be remembered. Asimov will never be forgotten.
Show Me SciFi 
That is a neat little quiz. Mine was E.E. “Doc” Smith, The inventor of space opera. I was shooting for Robert Silverberg. His novel, “The World Inside” really sparked my intrest in Science Fiction and all the possibilities (good and bad) for the future. Your choice of Isaac Asimov is an awesome thing to aspire to. Truely one of the “Grand Masters!”
The quiz says I’m Robert Heinlein, which is ridiculous, because my name is Dave.
To get another side of sci fi represented, I’m Ursula K. LeGuin (and pretty pleased about it!)
