    A favorite of both mine and cws_dallaswife. First books she asked for when in the hospital.

    Re: Today is the birthday of one of my favorite writers

    The first book I read of hers was "The Ship Who Sang".

    I think she is one of the last of the golden age of SciFi writers

    They too were favorites of mine.

    Ray Bradbury
    Robert Heinlein--TANSTAAFL
    Arther C Clark
    Poul Anderson
    Christopher Stasheff--The Warlock in Spite of Himself is a good story about the narrow walk between totalitarianism, and anarchy and a fitting book for our time with a lesson.

    Incredible and prolific author. One of my favorites as well.
