me too, and Bradbury and Vonnegut and all sorts, but he wants fast and funny...Vonnegut's funny, of course, but much more wry than he currently wants.

When I was his age, I was reading Asimov and Arthur C Clarke.

I was going to say Harry Harrison based on the thread subject...

Yes, Dresden Files are good as well. What about Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide) or Robert Rankin (random, funny fantasy type stuff)?

Will have a think on some more...

Try him on the Dresden Files, more fantasy than Sci-Fi but very fast and funny. Dresden is a wizard/PI who also occasionally works for the police.

DH loves Harry Harrison especially the Rat books and really like Dresden too.
