Many of us like reading, I have had the privilidge of meeting some of my favourite authors Peter F Hamilton and Micheal Palin but others I would have loved to meet have sadly passed on or never come near my local to book signings. So who would be your top 5 dead or alive authors?

My top five not counting the 2 above.

Arthur C Clarke
David Sedaris
Ben Bova
HG wells
Isaac Asimov
