I'd say Ballard was as 'literary' if not more than Atwood or LeGuin. Shame The Drowned World didn't get more votes, it's an excellent read and quite precient for it's age.

The only reason LHoD didn't get my vote is because I've read it. I definitely have no problem giving it another read. It's a fascinating book.
Authors who complain about what they're work is categorized as kind of chaps my ***, though. Get over yourself, Atwood! Just be happy people read an appreciate your work. If it's called sci-fi, does it really matter that much?
Yeah, isn't it kind of strange that they're working on making a meat product that's a lot like "chickie-nobs?" I don't know if they had published anything about it before Atwood wrote about chickienobs, but it weirds me out. Sort of. I don't know. I'm not sure how I feel about lab grown meat. I'm torn on the subject.Quote:
