Sci-Fi Authors in their favorite workspaces. SQUEEE!!

[nolabear]

I completely reeked out. But...what the hell IS that on Bradbury's desk? Nail polish? Bottles and bottles of nail polish?

(Btw click through to some of the articles. They rock.)

1. Cool! Maybe those bottles on Bradbury's desk are crafter's paint??

Thanks for the link .

9. That's what I was thinking - looks like there are brushes standing up

in some of the pen/pencil holders.

Great pictures! Very few of them look like I imagined...

Ursula K. LeGuin is still going. That is pretty awesome.

4. I was so influenced to be a writer by Bradbury.

The article cites his beautiful use of language. When I was a kid I just wallowed in that. Dandelion Wine, October Country... I particularly loved The Emissary, the short story in the click-through article. It had a creepy Bradbury ending but what caught me was the beautiful description of the sick child whose dog went out into the world and brought all its wonders back to him. And Cougar and Dark's circus just floored me. So little sic-fi has that opulent use of language.

13. I always considered Bradbury's writing to be like poetry.

My favorite novel and what I consider to be his best is "The Martian Chronicles."

5. No Roger Zelazny? No Larry Niven? No Philip K. Dick or Jack Vance?

6. Scroll down through the comments. Some are included there.

I think we could come up with a looooooong list if we tried!

8. Could have done without Orson Scott Card

I ignore him as much as possible.

[nolabear]

15. Yeah, I'm with you on that.

He's dead to me.

12. I would have liked to see Iain Banks

He always had this tweedy professor look going on, especially in his more recent pictures, so I bet he had a pretty sweet office.

But I liked how Lem seems to be working out of a dank concrete bunker. Really fits with the tone of some of his books.

Michael Crichton
