Another big fan here.
Heinlein, Asimov and Frank Herberts Dune ( only the original)
as well as some other authors.

I read pretty much all of Heinlein and most of Asimov including
the Foundation series.

I've probably reread Dune about 7 times over the last 40 years.

Also kinda liked the Cities is Space series with the spin dizzy antigravity,
James Bligh or who did that one?
