so, how many of top 100 SF/Fantasy books have YOU read? August 12, 2011 3:05 pm Eri

Those at the top of the list (top 10), I’ve read most. Below that, it gets more spasmodic. But it reminds me of some of my favorites, I Robot, Caves of Steel, Stranger in a Strange Land, Foundation Quadrilogy, Ender’s Game, Hitchhiker’s Guide…

This gives me a list of books I really oughter read but never have. I remember that David Eddings is the first Fantasy writer that I read, in my early 40′s (yeah, I was late to he game) and damn, is he a good writer! Can you believe I’ve never read LOTR? I was a hard SF reader and didn’t do fantasy when others were. So I missed out on a lot.
