Finished driveway a couple of weeks ago.
Backfilled and sowed the grass which was up in within a couple of days and now needs cutting.

Don't forget Clarke ...

But for modern day writers, have you had a look at Alastair Reynolds?

not a fan of clarke ian,i suppose r.heinlin and h.p.lovecraft would be on my second tier of SF writers
read "last light" by alex scarrow which was a fair read, recently ,but those lads from the 50-60's really knew how to craft a story

I 'enjoy' Heinlein's stuff (and have got a fair chunk of it on my bookshelves) but it gets a bit iffy in places which reflect his views I suppose. I like the way Clarke tries to be 'scientific' with his theories, the Rama series and Fountains of Paradise (space elevator) are amongst my faves.

Also forgot, Niven and Pournelle (either singly or in partnership)...
