+\h1[NPR Top 100 SFF meme]
+
+By way of \link[http://firecat.dreamwidth.org/profile]
+[\image[/~eagle/journal/dw.png][]]\link[http://firecat.dreamwidth.org/]
+[\strong[firecat]], this is the result of a public nomination process,
+panel review, and Internet voting on the NPR web site: an attempt at the
+top 100 works of science fiction or fantasy. Series are counted as single
+works for the purposes of the list.
+
+This list has a ton of problems, like any list of this sort will have. It
+leans rather more heavily towards white male than the actual literature,
+and certainly than my reading. The lack of non-white writers is
+particularly troubling. But it's still an interesting selection. (For
+those wondering about some obvious omissions, young adult was explicitly
+excluded.)
+
+The rules are to bold the works one has read in their entirety and
+italicize the ones you've read part of but not finished. I'll add
+underlining the works that I own, which provides some indication of the
+things that I've not read but that are on my to-read list.

+\ro[The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, by J.R.R. Tolkien][
+ It's a boring winner because it always wins, but it's an amazing book
+ and I can't argue with it. I'll probably never review this one since
+ I'm not sure I have anything original to say about it.
+]
+\ro[The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, by Douglas Adams][
+ Probably the best humorous SF. I've read the entire series except for
+ \cite[The Salmon of Doubt], the unfinished book left when Adams died.
+ Will re-read them all at some point.
+]
+\ro[Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card][
+ I intensely dislike Card's politics, but this book is still very good.
+ It's on my re-read list so that I can write a proper review of it.
+]
+\r[The Dune Chronicles, by Frank Herbert][
+ I've read the whole series, but only own the first, which is by far
+ the best. I'm tempted to re-read the whole series at some point,
+ since I don't remember it well enough to analyze it, but I'll probably
+ stop after re-reading just the first.
+]
+\p[\link[../../reviews/books/0-553-57340-3.html][A Song Of Ice And Fire
+ Series], by George R. R. Martin][
+ I own the first couple and have read and reviewed the first four. I
+ think they're somewhat overrated, but will probably read the latest.
+ I'm not sure if I'll re-read the previous books to remember what the
+ heck was going on.
+]
+
+\o[1984, by George Orwell][
+ I've somehow never read this. I keep meaning to, particularly since I
+ generally love Orwell.
+]
+\r[Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury][
+ Massively overrated, or perhaps just made unoriginal by subsequent
+ history. I found it boring and uninteresting.
+]
+\ro[The Foundation Trilogy, by Isaac Asimov][
+ Thoroughly enjoyed this when I was a teenager. I suspect I'll like it
+ less as an adult, but definitely on my to-read list.
+]
+\o[Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley][Another classic I've never read.]
+\ro[American Gods, by Neil Gaiman][
+ Great book. Need to re-read to review.
+]
+
+\o[The Princess Bride, by William Goldman][
+ On the list to read. Apparently significantly better than the movie,
+ which I liked less than everyone else on the planet.
+]
+\p[The Wheel Of Time Series, by Robert Jordan][
+ I read up to book eight (\cite[The Path of Daggers]) and bailed
+ halfway through it. It started as somewhat interesting fantasy with
+ deep world building and fun world surprises, but the writing got worse
+ and worse and the characters became miserably unlikeable. I'm still
+ occasionally tempted to re-read and finish it, but it's a bad
+ temptation.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/animal-farm.html][Animal Farm], by George
+ Orwell][
+ Great book, and a political and historical classic. Best read in
+ combination with a good history.
+]
+\ro[Neuromancer, by William Gibson][Meh.]
+\ro[Watchmen, by Alan Moore][Brilliant. On my list to re-read.]
+
+\ro[I, Robot, by Isaac Asimov][
+ Okay, but I generally find Asimov a bit overrated. Good for
+ intellectual puzzle stories, but not that deep of ones, and the
+ characters are essentially nonentities.
+]
+\r[Stranger In A Strange Land, by Robert Heinlein][
+ The only book that I've ever put down within fifteen pages of the end
+ and could never muster enough caring to pick up again. I should
+ re-read it at some point to review it, but I don't think it's very
+ good.
+]
+\o[The Kingkiller Chronicles, by Patrick Rothfuss][
+ Well, I own the first one at least.
+]
+\n[Slaughterhouse-Five, by Kurt Vonnegut][Need to read.]
+\n[Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley][
+ I've never actually read this, but I'm not sure there's much point in
+ reading it. I've been so thoroughly exposed to the angles and
+ interpretations of it that reading it at this point would be an odd
+ experience. I probably should for completion's sake at some point.
+ (This is the first woman on the list, and of course she's long-dead
+ and not writing in the modern SF tradition.)
+]
+
+\o[Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?, by Philip K. Dick][
+ I do need to read more Dick. I don't think this is as good as its
+ placement on the list; everyone just knows \cite[Blade Runner] (which
+ was based on this).
+]
+\o[The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood][
+ I have a bunch of Atwood, but haven't yet read any of it.
+]
+\n[The Dark Tower Series, by Stephen King][
+ It's rare for me to find any horror I actually like, but my
+ understanding is that this is less horror than a lot of King. I may
+ give it a try someday (but probably won't).
+]
+\r[2001: A Space Odyssey, by Arthur C. Clarke][
+ Much better than the movie since it actually explained what was going
+ on, although it wasn't as atmospheric. Not actually as good as its
+ position on lists like this would indicate. Mostly it's just a book
+ everyone has heard of.
+]
+\o[The Stand, by Stephen King][See above about horror.]
+
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-553-56261-4.html][Snow Crash], by Neal
+ Stephenson][
+ One of my favorite humorous SF books, plus features the trademark
+ Stephenson infodumping and some neat bits about building a virtual
+ world.
+]
+\o[The Martian Chronicles, by Ray Bradbury][On the list to read.]
+\n[Cat's Cradle, by Kurt Vonnegut][Need to track down and read.]
+\ro[The Sandman Series, by Neil Gaiman][
+ Quite possibly the best comic book series ever written. Utterly
+ brilliant. The one set of graphic novels that everyone should read at
+ some point in their life.
+]
+\n[A Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess][
+ Huh. Not really on my radar to read, although of course I've heard of
+ it.
+]
+
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-441-78358-9.html][Starship Troopers], by
+ Robert Heinlein][
+ Also overrated, particularly since it's not much of a story. It's an
+ extended and multifaceted political essay, which isn't as simple as it
+ appears to be. The movie, quite contrary to the negative impression
+ people have of it, is a delightful parody of how the book comes across
+ on its surface reading.
+]
+\o[Watership Down, by Richard Adams][Yeah, yeah, I know I should read it.]
+\ro[Dragonflight, by Anne McCaffrey][
+ I loved the Pern books as a teenager up until the point when the just
+ became retellings of the same book from a new perspective. I'm afraid
+ to re-read them.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-425-03436-4.html][The Moon Is A Harsh
+ Mistress], by Robert Heinlein][
+ Much, much better than \cite[Starship Troopers]. One of the better
+ non-juvenile Heinleins. Still not as good as people think it is.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-553-37926-7.html][A Canticle For
+ Leibowitz], by Walter M. Miller][
+ I was disappointed in this given how much people like it, but it
+ deserves some credit for being foundational to post-apocalyptic SF.
+]
+
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-517-26188-Xa.html][The Time Machine], by
+ H.G. Wells][
+ More interesting than you might think it would be, given when it was
+ written and the emphasis on description rather than characterization.
+ But it still suffers from a lack of characters for me. Hard to come
+ to this fresh now, since the ideas have been so used elsewhere.
+]
+\n[20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, by Jules Verne][
+ I've seen the movie take on it. I've not felt a strong urge to read
+ the book, although I probably "should."
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-553-27450-3.html][Flowers For Algernon],
+ by Daniel Keys][
+ Unforgettable and very strongly affecting (and depressing).
+]
+\o[The War Of The Worlds, by H.G. Wells][Will read at some point.]
+\o[The Chronicles Of Amber, by Roger Zelazny][Will probably read soon.]
+
+\ro[The Belgariad, by David Eddings][
+ Yeah, I read this as a teenager and quite liked it. But I have no
+ idea what it's doing on this list; it is in absolutely no way one of
+ the best 100 SFF works of all time. (Well, that's not true; I know
+ what it's doing on this list. People have heard of it and read it.
+ But it shouldn't be on this list.)
+]
+\o[The Mists Of Avalon, by Marion Zimmer Bradley][On the list.]
+\n[The Mistborn Series, by Brandon Sanderson][Want to read this.]
+\ro[Ringworld, by Larry Niven][
+ Interesting idea fiction with a great sense of scale. Shame the
+ characters aren't as good as the background. But it's a good book,
+ worth reading.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-441-47812-3.html][The Left Hand Of
+ Darkness], by Ursula K. LeGuin][
+ A deserved classic of anthropological SF with profound things to say
+ about how culture and friendship are constructed.
+]
+
+\ro[The Silmarillion, by J.R.R. Tolkien][
+ I love this book, but the first section is hard going if you don't
+ like reading mythology. Skip ahead if you're struggling; the gems are
+ later.
+]
+\o[The Once And Future King, by T.H. White][Definitely on the list to read.]
+\ro[Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman][
+ I'm not sure I'd put it on this list, as there are better Gaiman (and
+ Gaiman is already overrepresented), but it's a solid "urban" fantasy
+ in the old sense of that term. Inventive, with a feel similar to some
+ of the \cite[Sandman] stories.
+]
+\ro[Childhood's End, by Arthur C. Clarke][
+ I read this eons ago and can barely remember it. I definitely need to
+ re-read it.
+]
+\n[Contact, by Carl Sagan][
+ Liked the movie, have never had any particular urge to read the book.
+]
+
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-553-28368-5.html][The Hyperion Cantos], by
+ Dan Simmons][
+ Some of my favorite SF novels ever. The third book is the weakest,
+ and the fourth book has problems, but I adore it.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/1-56389-470-X.html][Stardust], by Neil
+ Gaiman][
+ Really far too much Gaiman on this list. But also a good book.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-380-78862-4.html][Cryptonomicon], by Neal
+ Stephenson][
+ Fantastic stuff. Not SF in any traditional sense. It's a combination
+ of secret history and contemporary thriller. But it's written in the
+ Stephenson massive entertaining infodumping style, so it feels like SF
+ and makes it onto lists like this. It's very long, but I've read it
+ twice and don't regret it.
+]
+\n[World War Z, by Max Brooks][
+ Have a hard time believing this really belongs here, but I haven't
+ read it so I couldn't say for sure.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-345-27505-5.html][The Last Unicorn], by
+ Peter S. Beagle][
+ Eh, it's not a bad book, but I'm not sure it really belongs on this
+ list. But it does have an aesthetic that's hard to find in any other
+ book.
+]
+
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-380-70821-3.html][The Forever War], by Joe
+ Haldeman][
+ A very important response to the whole sub-genre of military SF, and
+ very influential.
+]
+\o[Small Gods, by Terry Pratchett][Getting to it.]
+\po[The Chronicles Of Thomas Covenant, The Unbeliever, by Stephen
+ R. Donaldson][
+ Read the first book, wasn't much of a fan. I might get back to it at
+ some point, but I'm not particularly eager.
+]
+\r[\link[../../reviews/books/0-671-87749-6a.html][The Vorkosigan Saga], by
+ Lois McMaster Bujold][
+ I don't like the early books as much as some, but I love some of the
+ later books. The last few have been disappointing, but overall very
+ much worth reading, and belongs around here on the list.
+]
+\n[Going Postal, by Terry Pratchett][Getting to it.]
+
+\r[The Mote In God's Eye, by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle][
+ Read many years ago and barely remember it. I need to re-read it,
+ particularly since there's a new sequal by Pournelle's daughter that
+ looks well worth reading.
+]
+\p[The Sword Of Truth, by Terry Goodkind][
+ I read way too many books in this series. Others should not repeat my
+ mistake. Generic fantasy about incredibly stupid people that turns
+ into libertarian political ravings.
+]
+\n[The Road, by Cormac McCarthy][Not my thing.]
+\r[\link[../../reviews/books/1-58234-416-7.html][Jonathan Strange & Mr
+ Norrell], by Susanna Clarke][
+ A nearly unique reading experience, and the best footnoted fantasy
+ that I've ever read (and that includes Pratchett). Great stuff if you
+ don't mind the slow pace. I'm eagerly hoping for an actual sequel.
+]
+\n[I Am Legend, by Richard Matheson][
+ Having a hard time getting interested enough in a book about zombies.
+ But I've been wrong about that
+ \link[../../reviews/books/0-316-12246-7.html][before].
+]
+
+\n[The Riftwar Saga, by Raymond E. Feist][
+ Heard of it, but not enough to get it onto my want list.
+]
+\n[The Shannara Trilogy, by Terry Brooks][
+ Heard enough about it to not put it on my want list.
+]
+\n[The Conan The Barbarian Series, by R.E. Howard][
+ Something that I feel like I "should" read, but usually I'm not a big
+ fan of pulp.
+]
+\o[The Farseer Trilogy, by Robin Hobb][
+ Own the first, which has been on my to-read list for a very long time.
+ Someday I'll get to it. I should probably buy all of the trilogy
+ before starting it.
+]
+\r[\link[../../reviews/books/1-931561-64-8.html][The Time Traveler's
+ Wife], by Audrey Niffenegger][
+ Surprisingly good for a literary fantasy, with some fantastic moments
+ of description.
+]
+
+\n[The Way Of Kings, by Brandon Sanderson][Want to read at some point.]
+\n[A Journey To The Center Of The Earth, by Jules Verne][
+ As above, uninspired to read Verne.
+]
+\p[\link[../../reviews/books/0-88038-905-2.html][The Legend Of Drizzt
+ Series], by R.A. Salvatore][
+ Read the first one, and unless they get substantially better, I have
+ no interest in reading more. Very stock power fantasy with
+ one-dimensional characters.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-765-31524-6.html][Old Man's War], by John
+ Scalzi][
+ The later books in the series are better than the first one. An
+ interesting take on military SF, but I'm not sure it really rises to
+ the level of this sort of list.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-553-57331-4.html][The Diamond Age], by
+ Neil Stephenson][
+ One too many Stephenson for this list, plus \cite[Anathem] is probably
+ more deserving of this place, but there are some neat bits about
+ computation theory.
+]
+
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-553-28789-3.html][Rendezvous With Rama],
+ by Arthur C. Clarke][
+ Completely overrated. A bad book that just happens to be foundational
+ in a particular sub-genre of SF. Done much better by other people.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-765-34298-7.html][The Kushiel's Legacy
+ Series], by Jacqueline Carey][
+ By far my favorite epic fantasy series. Lush, involved, very
+ creative, and with a truly unusual heroine. Wonderful stuff.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-06-105488-7.html][The Dispossessed], by
+ Ursula K. LeGuin][
+ Great, thoughtful SF. Probably the best in the utopia genre, even
+ though it isn't a utopia.
+]
+\n[Something Wicked This Way Comes, by Ray Bradbury][Horror. Eh.]
+\o[Wicked, by Gregory Maguire][
+ On the list, but after a general Oz re-read.
+]
+
+\o[The Malazan Book Of The Fallen Series, by Steven Erikson][
+ Own the first. Completely intimidated by the length of the series.
+]
+\o[The Eyre Affair, by Jasper Fforde][On the list.]
+\po[\link[../../reviews/books/1-85723-138-4.html][The Culture Series], by
+ Iain M. Banks][
+ Brilliant stuff, highly recommended. I only haven't read it all
+ because I'm slowly digesting it. Should be higher on the list than
+ this.
+]
+\o[The Crystal Cave, by Mary Stewart][On the list.]
+\o[Anathem, by Neal Stephenson][On the list.]
+
+\n[The Codex Alera Series, by Jim Butcher][
+ I'll read the Dresden series, or least part of it, first, and see if
+ that inspires me to read more Butcher. Dubious that this belongs on
+ this list.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-671-45070-0.html][The Book Of The New
+ Sun], by Gene Wolfe][
+ Incredibly influential and important fantasy-flavored SF that should
+ be much higher on the list than this.
+]
+\ro[The Thrawn Trilogy, by Timothy Zahn][
+ This is a \cite[Star Wars] media tie-in series, and one of the few of
+ that type that I've read. I remember quite enjoying it a long time
+ ago, and it's on the list to re-read at some point.
+]
+\n[The Outlander Series, by Diana Gabaldan][
+ The only thing on this list that I've never even heard of.
+]
+\n[The Elric Saga, by Michael Moorcock][
+ Definitely want to read this at some point, once I figure out the
+ right place to start and probably after I've read some other
+ Moorcock.
+]
+
+\n[The Illustrated Man, by Ray Bradbury][
+ Waiting to see if I like the better-known Bradbury first.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-515-13881-9.html][Sunshine], by Robin

+ Quite possibly the best urban fantasy (in the modern definition) that
+ I've ever read.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-812-51528-5.html][A Fire Upon The Deep],
+ by Vernor Vinge][
+ A little overrated, but it has a fun rendition of Usenet and some
+ neat aliens.
+]
+\r[The Caves Of Steel, by Isaac Asimov][
+ Read long ago. Enjoyed it, but don't remember being grabbed by it.
+ There's a bit too much Asimov on this list.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-553-56073-5.html][The Mars Trilogy], by
+ Kim Stanley Robinson][
+ The most detailed and in-depth politics that you'll find in SF, even
+ more than Le Guin, at the cost of being mind-numbingly boring. Very
+ ambitious, but just doesn't move fast enough or have enough plot.
+ Robinson is less a novelist than a political and hard science essayist
+ in the form of a novel.
+]
+
+\ro[Lucifer's Hammer, by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle][
+ Large-screen disaster novel with a heavy helping of libertarian
+ utopian politics. Does not belong anywhere near this list.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-553-56273-8.html][Doomsday Book], by
+ Connie Willis][
+ The best of Willis's time travel novels, with fewer communication
+ failures and frantic faffing about than the other ones. Borderline
+ for this list, but probably deserves to be here.
+]
+\ro[\link[../../reviews/books/0-345-45940-7.html][Perdido Street Station],
+ by China Mieville][
+ Revolutionary fantasy. The founding book of New Weird. I think
+ \link[../../reviews/books/0-345-44438-8.html][The Scar] is a better
+ book, but I can't argue with this being here.
+]
+\n[The Xanth Series, by Piers Anthony][I've been warned off these.]
+\ro[The Space Trilogy, by C.S. Lewis][
+ I need to re-read this and write long reviews of them, since I have a

+ I intensely dislike Card's politics, but this book is still very good.
+ It's on my re-read list so that I can write a proper review of it.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong>The Dune Chronicles, by Frank Herbert</strong>:
+ I've read the whole series, but only own the first, which is by far
+ the best. I'm tempted to re-read the whole series at some point,
+ since I don't remember it well enough to analyze it, but I'll probably
+ stop after re-reading just the first.</li>
+<li class="packed"><em><a href="../../reviews/books/0-553-57340-3.html">A Song Of Ice And Fire
+ Series</a>, by George R. R. Martin</em>:
+ I own the first couple and have read and reviewed the first four. I
+ think they're somewhat overrated, but will probably read the latest.
+ I'm not sure if I'll re-read the previous books to remember what the
+ heck was going on.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>1984, by George Orwell</u>:
+ I've somehow never read this. I keep meaning to, particularly since I
+ generally love Orwell.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong>Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury</strong>:
+ Massively overrated, or perhaps just made unoriginal by subsequent
+ history. I found it boring and uninteresting.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u>The Foundation Trilogy, by Isaac Asimov</u></strong>:
+ Thoroughly enjoyed this when I was a teenager. I suspect I'll like it
+ less as an adult, but definitely on my to-read list.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley</u>: Another classic I've never read.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u>American Gods, by Neil Gaiman</u></strong>:
+ Great book. Need to re-read to review.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>The Princess Bride, by William Goldman</u>:
+ On the list to read. Apparently significantly better than the movie,
+ which I liked less than everyone else on the planet.</li>
+<li class="packed"><em>The Wheel Of Time Series, by Robert Jordan</em>:
+ I read up to book eight (<cite>The Path of Daggers</cite>) and bailed
+ halfway through it. It started as somewhat interesting fantasy with
+ deep world building and fun world surprises, but the writing got worse
+ and worse and the characters became miserably unlikeable. I'm still
+ occasionally tempted to re-read and finish it, but it's a bad
+ temptation.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/animal-farm.html">Animal Farm</a>, by George
+ Orwell</u></strong>:
+ Great book, and a political and historical classic. Best read in
+ combination with a good history.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u>Neuromancer, by William Gibson</u></strong>: Meh.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u>Watchmen, by Alan Moore</u></strong>: Brilliant. On my list to re-read.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u>I, Robot, by Isaac Asimov</u></strong>:
+ Okay, but I generally find Asimov a bit overrated. Good for
+ intellectual puzzle stories, but not that deep of ones, and the
+ characters are essentially nonentities.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong>Stranger In A Strange Land, by Robert Heinlein</strong>:
+ The only book that I've ever put down within fifteen pages of the end
+ and could never muster enough caring to pick up again. I should
+ re-read it at some point to review it, but I don't think it's very
+ good.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>The Kingkiller Chronicles, by Patrick Rothfuss</u>:
+ Well, I own the first one at least.</li>
+<li class="packed">Slaughterhouse-Five, by Kurt Vonnegut: Need to read.</li>
+<li class="packed">Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley:
+ I've never actually read this, but I'm not sure there's much point in
+ reading it. I've been so thoroughly exposed to the angles and
+ interpretations of it that reading it at this point would be an odd
+ experience. I probably should for completion's sake at some point.
+ (This is the first woman on the list, and of course she's long-dead
+ and not writing in the modern SF tradition.)</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?, by Philip K. Dick</u>:
+ I do need to read more Dick. I don't think this is as good as its
+ placement on the list; everyone just knows <cite>Blade Runner</cite> (which
+ was based on this).</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood</u>:
+ I have a bunch of Atwood, but haven't yet read any of it.</li>
+<li class="packed">The Dark Tower Series, by Stephen King:
+ It's rare for me to find any horror I actually like, but my
+ understanding is that this is less horror than a lot of King. I may
+ give it a try someday (but probably won't).</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong>2001: A Space Odyssey, by Arthur C. Clarke</strong>:
+ Much better than the movie since it actually explained what was going
+ on, although it wasn't as atmospheric. Not actually as good as its
+ position on lists like this would indicate. Mostly it's just a book
+ everyone has heard of.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>The Stand, by Stephen King</u>: See above about horror.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-553-56261-4.html">Snow Crash</a>, by Neal
+ Stephenson</u></strong>:
+ One of my favorite humorous SF books, plus features the trademark
+ Stephenson infodumping and some neat bits about building a virtual
+ world.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>The Martian Chronicles, by Ray Bradbury</u>: On the list to read.</li>
+<li class="packed">Cat's Cradle, by Kurt Vonnegut: Need to track down and read.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u>The Sandman Series, by Neil Gaiman</u></strong>:
+ Quite possibly the best comic book series ever written. Utterly
+ brilliant. The one set of graphic novels that everyone should read at
+ some point in their life.</li>
+<li class="packed">A Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess:
+ Huh. Not really on my radar to read, although of course I've heard of
+ it.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-441-78358-9.html">Starship Troopers</a>, by
+ Robert Heinlein</u></strong>:
+ Also overrated, particularly since it's not much of a story. It's an
+ extended and multifaceted political essay, which isn't as simple as it
+ appears to be. The movie, quite contrary to the negative impression
+ people have of it, is a delightful parody of how the book comes across
+ on its surface reading.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>Watership Down, by Richard Adams</u>: Yeah, yeah, I know I should read it.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u>Dragonflight, by Anne McCaffrey</u></strong>:
+ I loved the Pern books as a teenager up until the point when the just
+ became retellings of the same book from a new perspective. I'm afraid
+ to re-read them.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-425-03436-4.html">The Moon Is A Harsh
+ Mistress</a>, by Robert Heinlein</u></strong>:
+ Much, much better than <cite>Starship Troopers</cite>. One of the better
+ non-juvenile Heinleins. Still not as good as people think it is.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-553-37926-7.html">A Canticle For
+ Leibowitz</a>, by Walter M. Miller</u></strong>:
+ I was disappointed in this given how much people like it, but it
+ deserves some credit for being foundational to post-apocalyptic SF.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-517-26188-Xa.html">The Time Machine</a>, by
+ H.G. Wells</u></strong>:
+ More interesting than you might think it would be, given when it was
+ written and the emphasis on description rather than characterization.
+ But it still suffers from a lack of characters for me. Hard to come
+ to this fresh now, since the ideas have been so used elsewhere.</li>
+<li class="packed">20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, by Jules Verne:
+ I've seen the movie take on it. I've not felt a strong urge to read
+ the book, although I probably "should."</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-553-27450-3.html">Flowers For Algernon</a>,
+ by Daniel Keys</u></strong>:
+ Unforgettable and very strongly affecting (and depressing).</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>The War Of The Worlds, by H.G. Wells</u>: Will read at some point.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>The Chronicles Of Amber, by Roger Zelazny</u>: Will probably read soon.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u>The Belgariad, by David Eddings</u></strong>:
+ Yeah, I read this as a teenager and quite liked it. But I have no
+ idea what it's doing on this list; it is in absolutely no way one of
+ the best 100 SFF works of all time. (Well, that's not true; I know
+ what it's doing on this list. People have heard of it and read it.
+ But it shouldn't be on this list.)</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>The Mists Of Avalon, by Marion Zimmer Bradley</u>: On the list.</li>
+<li class="packed">The Mistborn Series, by Brandon Sanderson: Want to read this.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u>Ringworld, by Larry Niven</u></strong>:
+ Interesting idea fiction with a great sense of scale. Shame the
+ characters aren't as good as the background. But it's a good book,
+ worth reading.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-441-47812-3.html">The Left Hand Of
+ Darkness</a>, by Ursula K. LeGuin</u></strong>:
+ A deserved classic of anthropological SF with profound things to say
+ about how culture and friendship are constructed.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u>The Silmarillion, by J.R.R. Tolkien</u></strong>:
+ I love this book, but the first section is hard going if you don't
+ like reading mythology. Skip ahead if you're struggling; the gems are
+ later.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>The Once And Future King, by T.H. White</u>: Definitely on the list to read.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u>Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman</u></strong>:
+ I'm not sure I'd put it on this list, as there are better Gaiman (and
+ Gaiman is already overrepresented), but it's a solid "urban" fantasy
+ in the old sense of that term. Inventive, with a feel similar to some
+ of the <cite>Sandman</cite> stories.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u>Childhood's End, by Arthur C. Clarke</u></strong>:
+ I read this eons ago and can barely remember it. I definitely need to
+ re-read it.</li>
+<li class="packed">Contact, by Carl Sagan:
+ Liked the movie, have never had any particular urge to read the book.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-553-28368-5.html">The Hyperion Cantos</a>, by
+ Dan Simmons</u></strong>:
+ Some of my favorite SF novels ever. The third book is the weakest,
+ and the fourth book has problems, but I adore it.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/1-56389-470-X.html">Stardust</a>, by Neil
+ Gaiman</u></strong>:
+ Really far too much Gaiman on this list. But also a good book.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-380-78862-4.html">Cryptonomicon</a>, by Neal
+ Stephenson</u></strong>:
+ Fantastic stuff. Not SF in any traditional sense. It's a combination
+ of secret history and contemporary thriller. But it's written in the
+ Stephenson massive entertaining infodumping style, so it feels like SF
+ and makes it onto lists like this. It's very long, but I've read it
+ twice and don't regret it.</li>
+<li class="packed">World War Z, by Max Brooks:
+ Have a hard time believing this really belongs here, but I haven't
+ read it so I couldn't say for sure.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-345-27505-5.html">The Last Unicorn</a>, by
+ Peter S. Beagle</u></strong>:
+ Eh, it's not a bad book, but I'm not sure it really belongs on this
+ list. But it does have an aesthetic that's hard to find in any other
+ book.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-380-70821-3.html">The Forever War</a>, by Joe
+ Haldeman</u></strong>:
+ A very important response to the whole sub-genre of military SF, and
+ very influential.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>Small Gods, by Terry Pratchett</u>: Getting to it.</li>
+<li class="packed"><em><u>The Chronicles Of Thomas Covenant, The Unbeliever, by Stephen
+ R. Donaldson</u></em>:
+ Read the first book, wasn't much of a fan. I might get back to it at
+ some point, but I'm not particularly eager.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><a href="../../reviews/books/0-671-87749-6a.html">The Vorkosigan Saga</a>, by
+ Lois McMaster Bujold</strong>:
+ I don't like the early books as much as some, but I love some of the
+ later books. The last few have been disappointing, but overall very
+ much worth reading, and belongs around here on the list.</li>
+<li class="packed">Going Postal, by Terry Pratchett: Getting to it.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong>The Mote In God's Eye, by Larry Niven &amp; Jerry Pournelle</strong>:
+ Read many years ago and barely remember it. I need to re-read it,
+ particularly since there's a new sequal by Pournelle's daughter that
+ looks well worth reading.</li>
+<li class="packed"><em>The Sword Of Truth, by Terry Goodkind</em>:
+ I read way too many books in this series. Others should not repeat my
+ mistake. Generic fantasy about incredibly stupid people that turns
+ into libertarian political ravings.</li>
+<li class="packed">The Road, by Cormac McCarthy: Not my thing.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><a href="../../reviews/books/1-58234-416-7.html">Jonathan Strange &amp; Mr
+ Norrell</a>, by Susanna Clarke</strong>:
+ A nearly unique reading experience, and the best footnoted fantasy
+ that I've ever read (and that includes Pratchett). Great stuff if you
+ don't mind the slow pace. I'm eagerly hoping for an actual sequel.</li>
+<li class="packed">I Am Legend, by Richard Matheson:
+ Having a hard time getting interested enough in a book about zombies.
+ But I've been wrong about that
+ <a href="../../reviews/books/0-316-12246-7.html">before</a>.</li>
+<li class="packed">The Riftwar Saga, by Raymond E. Feist:
+ Heard of it, but not enough to get it onto my want list.</li>
+<li class="packed">The Shannara Trilogy, by Terry Brooks:
+ Heard enough about it to not put it on my want list.</li>
+<li class="packed">The Conan The Barbarian Series, by R.E. Howard:
+ Something that I feel like I "should" read, but usually I'm not a big
+ fan of pulp.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>The Farseer Trilogy, by Robin Hobb</u>:
+ Own the first, which has been on my to-read list for a very long time.
+ Someday I'll get to it. I should probably buy all of the trilogy
+ before starting it.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><a href="../../reviews/books/1-931561-64-8.html">The Time Traveler's
+ Wife</a>, by Audrey Niffenegger</strong>:
+ Surprisingly good for a literary fantasy, with some fantastic moments
+ of description.</li>
+<li class="packed">The Way Of Kings, by Brandon Sanderson: Want to read at some point.</li>
+<li class="packed">A Journey To The Center Of The Earth, by Jules Verne:
+ As above, uninspired to read Verne.</li>
+<li class="packed"><em><a href="../../reviews/books/0-88038-905-2.html">The Legend Of Drizzt
+ Series</a>, by R.A. Salvatore</em>:
+ Read the first one, and unless they get substantially better, I have
+ no interest in reading more. Very stock power fantasy with
+ one-dimensional characters.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-765-31524-6.html">Old Man's War</a>, by John
+ Scalzi</u></strong>:
+ The later books in the series are better than the first one. An
+ interesting take on military SF, but I'm not sure it really rises to
+ the level of this sort of list.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-553-57331-4.html">The Diamond Age</a>, by
+ Neil Stephenson</u></strong>:
+ One too many Stephenson for this list, plus <cite>Anathem</cite> is probably
+ more deserving of this place, but there are some neat bits about
+ computation theory.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-553-28789-3.html">Rendezvous With Rama</a>,
+ by Arthur C. Clarke</u></strong>:
+ Completely overrated. A bad book that just happens to be foundational
+ in a particular sub-genre of SF. Done much better by other people.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-765-34298-7.html">The Kushiel's Legacy
+ Series</a>, by Jacqueline Carey</u></strong>:
+ By far my favorite epic fantasy series. Lush, involved, very
+ creative, and with a truly unusual heroine. Wonderful stuff.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-06-105488-7.html">The Dispossessed</a>, by
+ Ursula K. LeGuin</u></strong>:
+ Great, thoughtful SF. Probably the best in the utopia genre, even
+ though it isn't a utopia.</li>
+<li class="packed">Something Wicked This Way Comes, by Ray Bradbury: Horror. Eh.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>Wicked, by Gregory Maguire</u>:
+ On the list, but after a general Oz re-read.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>The Malazan Book Of The Fallen Series, by Steven Erikson</u>:
+ Own the first. Completely intimidated by the length of the series.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>The Eyre Affair, by Jasper Fforde</u>: On the list.</li>
+<li class="packed"><em><u><a href="../../reviews/books/1-85723-138-4.html">The Culture Series</a>, by
+ Iain M. Banks</u></em>:
+ Brilliant stuff, highly recommended. I only haven't read it all
+ because I'm slowly digesting it. Should be higher on the list than
+ this.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>The Crystal Cave, by Mary Stewart</u>: On the list.</li>
+<li class="packed"><u>Anathem, by Neal Stephenson</u>: On the list.</li>
+<li class="packed">The Codex Alera Series, by Jim Butcher:
+ I'll read the Dresden series, or least part of it, first, and see if
+ that inspires me to read more Butcher. Dubious that this belongs on
+ this list.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-671-45070-0.html">The Book Of The New
+ Sun</a>, by Gene Wolfe</u></strong>:
+ Incredibly influential and important fantasy-flavored SF that should
+ be much higher on the list than this.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u>The Thrawn Trilogy, by Timothy Zahn</u></strong>:
+ This is a <cite>Star Wars</cite> media tie-in series, and one of the few of
+ that type that I've read. I remember quite enjoying it a long time
+ ago, and it's on the list to re-read at some point.</li>
+<li class="packed">The Outlander Series, by Diana Gabaldan:
+ The only thing on this list that I've never even heard of.</li>
+<li class="packed">The Elric Saga, by Michael Moorcock:
+ Definitely want to read this at some point, once I figure out the
+ right place to start and probably after I've read some other
+ Moorcock.</li>
+<li class="packed">The Illustrated Man, by Ray Bradbury:
+ Waiting to see if I like the better-known Bradbury first.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-515-13881-9.html">Sunshine</a>, by Robin
+ McKinley</u></strong>:
+ Quite possibly the best urban fantasy (in the modern definition) that
+ I've ever read.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-812-51528-5.html">A Fire Upon The Deep</a>,
+ by Vernor Vinge</u></strong>:
+ A little overrated, but it has a fun rendition of Usenet and some
+ neat aliens.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong>The Caves Of Steel, by Isaac Asimov</strong>:
+ Read long ago. Enjoyed it, but don't remember being grabbed by it.
+ There's a bit too much Asimov on this list.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-553-56073-5.html">The Mars Trilogy</a>, by
+ Kim Stanley Robinson</u></strong>:
+ The most detailed and in-depth politics that you'll find in SF, even
+ more than Le Guin, at the cost of being mind-numbingly boring. Very
+ ambitious, but just doesn't move fast enough or have enough plot.
+ Robinson is less a novelist than a political and hard science essayist
+ in the form of a novel.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u>Lucifer's Hammer, by Larry Niven &amp; Jerry Pournelle</u></strong>:
+ Large-screen disaster novel with a heavy helping of libertarian
+ utopian politics. Does not belong anywhere near this list.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-553-56273-8.html">Doomsday Book</a>, by
+ Connie Willis</u></strong>:
+ The best of Willis's time travel novels, with fewer communication
+ failures and frantic faffing about than the other ones. Borderline
+ for this list, but probably deserves to be here.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u><a href="../../reviews/books/0-345-45940-7.html">Perdido Street Station</a>,
+ by China Mieville</u></strong>:
+ Revolutionary fantasy. The founding book of New Weird. I think
+ <a href="../../reviews/books/0-345-44438-8.html">The Scar</a> is a better
+ book, but I can't argue with this being here.</li>
+<li class="packed">The Xanth Series, by Piers Anthony: I've been warned off these.</li>
+<li class="packed"><strong><u>The Space Trilogy, by C.S. Lewis</u></strong>:
+ I need to re-read this and write long reviews of them, since I have a
+ lot to say about them. But they need to be read in the context of the
+ Christian faith to make any sense.</li>
