Frankly, I always considered Asimov a B+ writer because he is so dry. ( Being compared to him was a low point in the Reading Excuses for me. :P )  I'm wondering if we shouldn't remove him and put Bradbury (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, S is for Space) and De Camp (Lest Darkness Fall, The Glory That Was).

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is by Philip K. Dick...

All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

Oops you're right.  I meant to say I Sing the Body Electric.  Though Dicke might be a good addition too.  I've been confusing those two titles for 20 years since I was having a brain fart, standing in a Walden Books and reading the backs of mass market editions of both.  I bought Pawn of Prophecy instead that day. :)
