Recommend some sci-fi authors

RE: Recommend some sci-fi authors
Here's the Science Fiction page of Fantastic Fiction. If you can't find good stuff to read here, you're just not trying. Smile 

Each author has their own page listing all their works, including pseudonyms. Be very careful of two sections at the bottom of each author page though. They are rabbit holes down which you can get lost for days, weeks, months, years... Some who failed to resist the siren song of these two sections have been lost to us forever.  Big Grin

"Author" recommends:
A list, sometimes short, sometimes quite long, of books recommended by the author who's page you happen to be on.

Visitors to this page also looked at these authors:
A list of typically 10 to 20 authors who write similar types of stories.

I've found many, many good new (or, at least, new to me) books and/or authors chasing links in those sections.

Goodreads.com is great source for getting reviews of books and they have some tools there for setting up book lists and tracking reads.

Then there's The Internet Speculative Fiction Database. Sci-fi and fantasy only, but if you ever have the burning need to find every single word an author has ever published, in every medium, in every edition, this is the site you need. Also, a great place for finding original publication dates (very useful for labeling books so they list the same no matter what OS or program you're using).
