Re: NPR's Top 100 Science-Fiction and Fantasy ursidae Send a noteboard - 12/08/2011 05:50:56 PM
I think I voted for it, and most of my picks seem to be included in the list.
I have read 25 out of the 100, "better" than I expected.

The results of NPR's Top 100 Science-Fiction and Fantasy survey have been announced. Most of the usual suspects are present (LotR, Dune, 1984) although some of the books listed were as surprise (I never heard of Sunshine before). But, of course, it's the who didn't make it that causes the biggest discussion all over the fandom (my personal peeve - Blindsight was not even among finalist)

So what do you think?

Eh. At least it doesn't pretend to be a Best Of list. Rebekah - 12/08/2011 12:42:33 PM 1484 Views
Since it was voted on by fans, it would seem to be a Most Popular list. Nate - 12/08/2011 05:22:29 PM 1443 Views
Yes. Which makes it difficult to complain about the choices. Rebekah - 12/08/2011 06:30:01 PM 1459 Views

That makes sense but the problem is YA is more of a marketing tool than a genre random thoughts - 13/08/2011 03:27:45 AM 1443 Views
seriously? Nothing by Hamilton is on there? imlad - 12/08/2011 09:21:43 PM 1488 Views
