So what do you think? Which books would you include on a 'best of' science fiction or fantasy? Add your choices using the comments.
I own all of the SF Masterworks. Bwahahahahahahaha. But I have read very few of them. (What is the oppossite of a bwahahaha?)
ReplyDeleteWe will see how the reread comes together.
I've read quite a few of the SF series but fare rather poorly on the fantasy side of things. You're right about the limited nature of the list and the multiple authors. PKD is on there 14 times for crying out loud! Still, it's a pretty impressive list if not complete.
ReplyDeleteI've got both lists on my site with cover pics and synopsis etc. for all of them if you want to check it out: http://www.worldswithoutend.com/lists_sf_masterworks.asp
Wow! Such an amazing and helpful post this is. I really really love it. It's so good and so awesome. I am just amazed. I hope that you continue to do your work like this in the future. Yaldo Eye Center
