I see a lot of older ones there, even 19th century authors(Jules Verne, Mary Shelley, HG Wells, and I may have missed some).<br /><br />In fact in many cases I'd ditch some of those older authors for newer ones that aren't represented(I'd take Greg Bear, Alastair Reynolds, Peter F Hamilton, etc over HG Wells any day).<br /><br />And where the hell is Larry Correia? *grin*Mikaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894602732468692375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-27904108355271670532011-08-21T17:07:51.955-05:002011-08-21T17:07:51.955-05:00Ironically, the number I've read on that list ...Ironically, the number I've read on that list comes to 42. :-D<br /><br />AntibubbaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-91153019420286758032011-08-21T13:46:16.105-05:002011-08-21T13:46:16.105-05:00It is an NPR list and very specific.

I read ten, and am so surprised that I actually did: 1,2,3,6,7,11,20,32,72,76, because science fiction and fantasy are not my favorite reads.trailbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830065132795330618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-53350464135491773282011-08-21T12:09:02.778-05:002011-08-21T12:09:02.778-05:00Linked back from my little place, with my (much) s...Linked back from my little place, with my (much) smaller group that I've read.
