Booked by 3: February

Being the lazy slacker I am, I'm a bit late with this, which is annoying because I already had it ready.
  1. Have you read (up to 3) authors recently you want to read more by?
  2. Have you read authors (up to 3) recently that if you never see another book by them, it will be too soon?
  3. Are there any authors (up to 3) you wish would write more books?
I'll answer by the weekend. Please use the comments to play or leave a link to your blog if you play there. And the "up to 3" is to keep to the Booked by 3 name theme. If you have more, then list 'em.

    I like Joe Haldeman! Haven't heard of some of the others. And I wish we could get more by Alfred Bester, too.

    I compared 'The Forever War' to "Starship Troopers' and "Orphange" and considered both much better.

    Christopher Moore & Tom Holt are the two funniest authors alive IMHO, both as good of better than Douglas Adams.

    I greatly enjoyed the Homage to Bester in Babylon 5. There were so many inside literary and Sci-fi jokes in that series but this was one of the best. Who better to be a Psi Cop than Alfred Bester.

    I haven't read Starship Troopers and don't know Orphanage, but I loved Forever War and the sequel. My fav military SF is Armor by John Steakley.

    As for Bester, gotta love the man who wrote the oath for Green Lantern.
