Writers Who Aren't Full of Shit:
If Ray Bradbury doesn't qualify to be on that list, I don't want to know. I wish to live in ignorant bliss.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

OSC is a hot fluttering mess of logical fallacies.
Emma Bull, not full of shit. Jane Espenson, also.
Does it count if the writer is full of the same shit as you? Cause I totally related to David Simon gift-wrapping his shitlist and taking it on the road. But it might be some kind of *bull* shit

Plus they have excellent taste in friends.
S. Brust - not full of shit. But your FOS may vary.
Ray Bradbury - wrong on a lot of stuff, but don't think he is full of shit.
Gaiman has written about the lexicon thing, too: [link]
That made me miss Tim Hunter.
Neil Gaiman? Not an ass, and one can read his non-fiction with relaxation and ease.
Just finished reading To Kill a Mockingbird.
Seen the movie a dozen times, but never read the book.
Sigh.
I do love that book. I first read it for Book Club in 7th grade (it was the favorite book of Mr. Clarke, the club's moderator), and saw the movie soon after.
It's one of the best movie adaptations ever, IMO. There was an additional scene added for the movie that I truly love, though--when Scout and Jem are laying in bed and Scout asks about their mother, all while Atticus sits on the porch and listens to them. So touching!
