    Don't forget Heinlein, Terry. He is right up there with Asimov.

    Burns.........Excellent! I was trying to think of a classic. You can't beat Charlton Heston and the ending of Plant Of The Apes.

    Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" was actually an important text on my road to discovery. Great book.

    Anyone old school enough to have read E.E. "Doc" Smith's "Lensman" books?

    Me too. But I have to add Asimov to that list.

    Come on people

    H. G. Wells War of the Worlds broadcast with Orson Wells on October 30, 1938 .

    It's one thing to go to a movie and know it is fiction.

    It's a totally different and very dramatic thing to be manipu;ated into believe a Martian invasion is happening at the moment. Now THAT"S drama!
