Yes, Zelazny's one who's earned a permanent, prominent place on my shelves, next to Heinlein and Tolkien and others.
It's a bit like a chat with a very good friend, rereading an old favorite. Sure, you know what's going to happen but there always seems to be something new to get out of it.

Just curious, how far have you read into the Hamilton series?

Heinlein's great :) My favorite thing I've read by him so far is "Puppet Masters". Haven't read Zelazny yet. Some others prominent on my shelves would be Verne, Wells, Edgar Rice Burroughs, H.P. Lovecraft, and Robert E. Howard, among the authors I've read so far. For the past 10 years or so I've been trying to work through all the major sf/fantasy authors and I've gotten up to about Asimov and Heinlein so far on the sf side. My intro to Heinlein was a 3-story collection with "Puppet Masters", "Double Star", and "The Door into Summer", all of which I enjoyed. The other stuff of his I'm familiar with are "Stranger in a Strange Land" and "Starship Troopers". I've been meaning to read some more when I get a chance--any recommendations?
