Couldn't disagree more. Greatest of the modern science fiction writers.

(Based on a reading of the 14 of his books that exist in the same universe. And also Asimov on Physics etc, which is different.)

Ech. Niven, Silverberg, Ellison, Sturgeon, Zelazny, Clarke, Heinlein all wipe the floor with him. Asimov just wrote more.

Asimov wrote more, yeah, but also his peak -- Foundation -- is better in some indefinable way than any of those others. My opinion, course.

That said I'm short-handed when it comes to having read enough Zelazney (have you read the book he did with PKD? Should I?) and Ellison.
