autographs

[Highlander]

Harlan Ellison... writer of City On The Edge Of Forever... arguably the finest episode of ST TOS...

PKD autographs are pretty scarce... the Exegesis is something of his I will probably not attempt... Blade Runner... a movie I've sat and studied and watched far too many times... fascinating that so much of Tokyo replicates the movie now... So much of his work tried to grasp that theme, the more human than human, etc...
I was gifted his collected shorts some years back and have most of his novels...

There's a number of other writers that I've enjoyed over time and some individual stories by well known authors - McCafferys Singing Ship series (Pern series didn't work for me) and a few others... Bill Gibson is a great writer but certainly owed a lot to PKD... Carl Sagan's single work of fiction is sheer brilliance... Harry Harrison just leapt out... There are some classics, obviously... arguably one of the first SciFi books is Frankenstein...

My books have (mostly) been boxed up due to space (the final frontier) reasons ...

Any interest in H.P. Lovecraft? Personally I really love him! Next time I am in East Coast will go to Providence and visit the place of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. One of the few authors I have read in Italian and in English. Another one is J.R.R. Tolkien

LOTR is an undisputed classic... never read any Lovecraft...

Harrison's book Bill the Galactic Hero is a favorite of mine.  ("It's always bowb your buddy time!")

I've read Tolkien repeatedly, although I've found his works other than The Hobbit and the Trilogy either impenetrable or unable to hold my interest.

Lovecraft pretty much invented his own genre, I think.  Other writers followed his lead  in the SF field, but his stuff may relate more closely to Norse and Greek mythology in many respects than to literature of the early 20th century.

I read the Silmarilion as a duty and it lurks in a box somewhere in the loft...

I have a 1st ed of Dune (BC copy, but same artwork and cover, but a 1/4 of the cost) that sits rather nicely on the shelf...

I rarely read these days and only occasionally buy a title... that may change once the library exists...

That's a pretty difficult duty.  Sheesh.

I have a few autographs, Les Paul, Joe Walsh, Jim Marshall, Lemmy, Stu Ham and a bunch more but most important, the God of Thunder! I met him in the bar at the Anaheim Hilton and he was the nicest guy ever. I went up and thanked him for being a major influence and the quest for "the Tone". When I mentioned "the Tone" his eyes lit up and he removed a brunette from one leg, set me down and ordered up drinks. We talked like old buds about the new amps he was getting, basses, vintage guitars and "the Tone" for quite a while. Absolutely the nicest guy in the world to a awe struck stranger. He signed a napkin and it lives in a bass string pack as it should.

Scott gives autographs...?
