Y.A.L.: 100 Science Fiction Books

Phobos Entertainment – Features – 100 Science Fiction Books
So just how does one find stellar SF? For starters, why don’t you try out these 100 narrative works. Each one should be part of every SF reader’s—not to mention every SF writer’s—repertoire. Many of these novels are award winners, and most have inspired profound trends in science fiction.

Well, it’s not the list I would have assembled, although there is some definite overlap, but it’s still interesting to look over. Each book has a short paragraph of description–just enough to pique your interest, as ’twere.

If this were the canon, I would be doing pretty well–I’ve read 94 of these. Of the remaining six, I’d put threeWar with the Newts Written by Karl Kapek
Roadside Picnic Written by Boris Strugatsky & Arkady Strugatsky
Last and First Man Written by Olaf Stapledon on the “should do” list, twoPlaniverse Written by A.K. Dewdney
Radix Written by A.A. Attanasio on the “if I ran into it” list, and oneGuess. on the “really couldn’t bring myself to do it list”.
