I've read Flowers for Algernon, but I couldn't for the life of me think of the author. I also missed The Road, I Am Legend, The Last Unicorn, The Forever War, the Culture series, The Crystal Cave, Sunshine, the Outlander series, and the Space trilogy.

... C.S. Lewis wrote something called the Space trilogy? And it's on this list while Narnia isn't?


Perelandra and two more.

Some of them I got by luck. Knowing that LeGuin wrote The Left Hand of Darkness, and that Niven wrote Ringworld, got me three others automatically that I wouldn't otherwise have known.

Fun game, though. And overall, yeah, I would take all sorts of issue with the list itself.


As with all lists... I missed Time Traveler's Wife, Salvatore, Maguire (Wicked), Timothy Zahn, Diana Gabaldon, Peter Beagle, Terry Prachett, and McCarthy (remember at the last second).

88, though as Tom and Nate noted, with some luck. Legolas - 21/01/2013 06:22:35 PM 930 Views
forgetting hardly anyone on that list is "unforgiveable" Tom - 21/01/2013 07:30:17 PM 977 Views

JS&MN is a great book, you're missing out. Legolas - 23/01/2013 06:56:01 PM 967 Views
Don't listen to him. It's a horribly boring book. Couldn't finish it *NM* Dark Knight - 24/01/2013 01:46:24 AM 459 Views

Never heard of the Elric Saga? random thoughts - 24/01/2013 04:10:39 AM 928 Views
Surprisingly no, I just looked up the list of books and I think I maybe heard of one Isaac - 24/01/2013 12:52:37 PM 964 Views
I've heard that Moorcock had a pretty unusual writing approach in the past. Stephen - 25/01/2013 04:00:25 PM 898 Views

Seems most of these Elric books don't go far beyond a hundred pages, so yeah... *NM* Legolas - 25/01/2013 11:35:28 PM 402 Views

I just got the first one second hand, I have to say I'm kinda curious. *NM* Legolas - 25/01/2013 04:47:57 PM 460 Views
they are classics and you should read them random thoughts - 25/01/2013 05:56:05 PM 1046 Views
Yeah. I don't really like fantasy but I know of the Elric series. It's well written, so they say. *NM* Tom - 26/01/2013 01:29:16 AM 420 Views
I like the series, but I wouldn't use "well-written" to describe the 1960s-1970s books Larry - 26/01/2013 02:40:07 AM 1009 Views
