In August NPR came out with the results of their survey for the top 100 Science Fiction and Fantasy books.
It’s a pretty comprehensive list. All the big names are there Card, Tolkien, Bradbury, Orwell. As I go through the list there a quite a lot of the books I have read, and quite a number that I’ve heard good things about but never gotten around to read.
I found out about the list from the graphic that SF Singnal put together. The very large graphic is a flow chart to help you decide what book on the list would most appeal to you. To help me decide I marked it up a bit blocking out the books I’ve already read. Taking a look I’ve decide that there is simply not enough books crossed off that list.
So the goal is that to knock off at least half of the books in the unread portion of the list over the next year. Stay tuned to the blog, I’ll keep you up to date on how I’m doing.
