In light of the 100-books meme going around (and the attendant "I can't believe they didn't include x!" comments), and talking to
trustme1013 about sci-fi street cred, I was thinking: what would you put on a top 100 sci-fi books list? Yes, I'm sure there are already ones out there, but I thought it would be fun to consult the f-list and come up with our own.
So, what makes your list? And since I know most of y'all read both, I'm going to include fantasy too. A lot of the good, old "speculative fiction" really straddles the line, anyway.

Date: 2008-07-21 12:08 am (UTC)I don't know if I have anything to add... if it were "sci-fi/fantasy" then I might ... but like I said... Never really read much of it.
