Yet another top list; or, maybe I don’t suck as bad as previously advertised
NPR recently posted a listing of top 100 science fiction and fantasy books, as determined by a readers’ poll. I usually fare poorly on these types of things (e.g, I score about a 5 or 6 on the ubiquitous lists of 100 things you should have read to prove you have a brain and appreciation for literature), but I’ve actually read fourteen on the NPR list, including:
Ok, so maybe fourteen is nothing to brag about, but I’ll take it anyway. How many have you read?
(Somewhat) related posts:
I read “Animal Farm” when I was in high school and I absolutely loved it. “1984″ a great one as well. And Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451″ I also had to read it in high school. Although we didn’t read “The Martian Chronicles”.”Brave New World” is in my to-read list (I bought it last year). Funny my sister and I were talking about our favorite books in high school the other day and she mentioned “Flowers for Algernon”. She told me she cried reading that book. I watched the movie “A Clockwork Orange” Does that count? LOL
Great list!

I’ve read eight of these – I’m surprised, because I always say I don’t really read science fiction. Guess I do.
