¿Question #250?
LudesFactor: Clarke or Asimov?

Derang3d: Can't say I've read Clarke (but know of him), Asimov is great as a writer..
oldhoss: meh.
Jbrady: asimov
Spoox: asimov
Felimid: Both.
Wired_Wolf: Clarke
ricardofo: Verne
Abreu: Both
GSwarthout: Herbert
jasta6: Clarke.................................................................................
vandemonium: Diet Coke.
ZeroZilla: Asimov by a country mile.
Barticus88: I find neither has aged well, but Clarke.
Polgara: asimov
earthvssoup: Asimov, all the way. I do like 2001, though.
BookandGame: Hmmm... Asimov is pretty sexy... but Clarke has a certain aura you can't really define. Tough call, but I'd go with Asimov.
kpetzing: Clarke
DHEK: Asimov.
scriptorum: Asimov was more influential, but Clarke's work shows more variety. I've read more Asimov than Clarke, so I'd probably rather read Clarke if given an immediate choice.
ZiggyZambo: clarke
POvidiusNaso: I've only read Asimov, but I'm more willing to try Clarke than keep reading Asimov. I also like Zelazny.
Leo-T: Clarke
leslauber: Not "or;" "and."
ejohnson7: Asimov.

mrspank: Asimov.
doghouse724: That's tough. Clarke is edging a little tiny bit ahead. Douglas Adams is way far in front, though.
Helenoftroy: Clarke
Chris Page: Asimov never collaborated with Gentry Lee.
bigbadsteve: not really my genre
RoSKoMaNTe: Asimov
Gregol: Asimov
jellospike: Asimov, but I also love many of Clarke's novels.
duckpuppy: Asimov. He's an optimist, and Clarke was a bit of a pessimist when it came to technology.

ssmooth: Both had their moments. The "I, Robot" stories are probably the zenith of Asimov's fiction. Clarke could write an interesting, if strangely impersonal novel, The Reefs of Earth for example.
