I was pleased with this result.

I am: Robert A. Heinlein Beginning with technological action stories and progressing to epics with religious overtones, this take-no-prisoners writer racked up some huge sales numbers.

Which science fiction writer are you?

I think I've read more Heinlein than any other SciFi writer.

No, I don't. I've never read Dick.

Let's just say his books tend to start out smart and riveting, reveal a couple flaws halfway thru, and then do something ridiculous to ruin the last quarter. Not always so, but I've given up on him.

I should be diversifying my SF reading anyway. I've seen no Heinlein, no Clarke in writing, one Lovecraft short story, and one Asimov novel.

Dick and Heinlein remind me of each other sometimes in their bizarre plot points, but Dick is more inclined towards distopianism, I think. A few years ago, I would've said he was Orwellian, but that was when I was a young idiot and all I knew of Orwell was 1984.

Incidentally, what do you think of Christopher Hitchens? He's rapidly becoming one of my favorite intellectuals.
