As far as Herbert goes, I must agree that he is definitely not one of the most awesome of writers. On the other hand... HARLAN ELLISON I recommend anything that this man has wrote, and if you can get your hands on a slightly obscure book by Keith Laumer called "Five Fates", it includes stories by Laumer, Ellison, Herbert, Dickson and Anderson. Keith Laumer wrote a one page start of a story, and the all five of them wrote separate short stories using it as the basis of their story. One can see their divergent styles just by analyzing each of their first paragraphs. One more thing: If anyone has a way of obtaining some of Ellison's older books, send me a message. You can't always get what you want, But if you try sometimes you just might find You don't get it anyway. yteitz
