"I was around 16 when I first read the Foundation books and was bowled over by them. I'd not read a great deal of SF before but became an ardent fan and read hundreds of books over the next few years."
"Seriously impressed with this book at the age of 16, the film, and everything about it! I never really liked any of Clarke's other books, though, from what I recall."
"I know this book is slightly out of kilter with the rest of my teenage favourites, but I have to include it, as it inspired me to a whole load of deceitful things myself!"
"I suspect I would still enjoy this book if I read it today. It's one of those few books that is so densely packed with material you could read it dozens of times and still get something out of it."
"Heinlein was a real mystery to me: I either detested his books, or absolutely adored them, and this definitely fell in the latter camp. Loved every page of it!"
"By my late teens I'd turned my back on the Asimov's of this world and was a committed Silverberg and Dick man. The Book of Skulls I just had to finish, had to read every page, then read it again!"
