Just three?

19th March 2006

Phobos Books has posted a list: 100 Science Fiction Books You Just Have To Read.

I find the list short on any real insight into why these paritcular books were chosen or why they are ranked as they were.

[tag]Robert A. Heinlein[/tag] made the list three times. Peoria native [tag]Philip Jose Farmer[/tag] made it twice.

As I read the list, I was as first struck by how many of these books I’ve read. But then I realized that some of them I haven’t, but simply say too many movies based on them.

NOTE: An interesting discussion just getting underway on this topic on alt.fan.heinlein.
