Tales to Astound

I found out today that scifi.com has a small online archive of short S-F stories.  (You may take that to mean Science Fiction, or Speculative Fiction;  there's some of both.)  The selection isn't great, but there are some decent ones there.  For example:  Howard Waldrop's The Ugly Chickens, an alternate history of the dodo, is amusing, and Elizabeth A. Lynn's The White King's Dream, which doesn't even feel like science or speculative fiction, is also worth reading.  I also seem to recall that Samuel R. Delany's Aye, and Gomorrah was also good—although it has been a while since I read Dangerous Visions.  (The other two Dangerous Visions stories that I recognised — Auto-da-Fé and Carcinoma Angels — I recall as being not quite so good, with Auto being one of my least favourite in the collection.)

Aside from that classic (that is, previously published elsewhere) stories, they've also got originals—stories that were published for the first time on their site.  I haven't really had a chance to go through these, but the one story I've read (Andy Duncan's The Pottawatomie Giant—about former heavyweight champion Jess Willard, and Harry Houdini) was enjoyable.  On the other hand, they've also got stories by Cory Doctorow (love BoingBoing, hate his fiction), and Brian Herbert; I'd say that the selection definitely appears to be a matter of taste.

Question, worth 20% of your mark:  who is riding on their dead father's fame more: Brian Herbert or Christopher Tolkien?  Answers should be in the form of a short essay.
