Science Fiction ... Double Feature

NPR has a reader-voted list of the top 100 science fiction and fantasy novels. Like so many other people, I love checking these out and checking them off. Let's see the tally of the ones I've read:

1. The Lord Of The Rings
2. The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
3. A Song Of Ice And Fire Series (I read the first and part of the second, but not the whole series yet. Am mightily looking forward to the second season of Game of Thrones on HBO)
4. 1984
5. Fahrenheit 451 (I've probably read everything by Ray Bradbury)
6. The Foundation Trilogy (I've probably also read everything by Isaac Asimov)
7. Brave New World
8. American Gods (I *think* I've read this.)
9. The Princess Bride
10. Animal Farm
11. Neuromancer (and Mona Lisa Overdrive and Count Zero, and almost all his other novels)
12. I, Robot
13. Stranger In A Strange Land
14. Slaughterhouse-Five
15. Frankenstein
16. Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?
17. The Handmaid's Tale
18. 2001: A Space Odyssey
19. The Stand
20. Snow Crash
21. The Martian Chronicles
22. Watership Down
23. The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress
24. The Time Machine
25. 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (probably also read everything by Jules Verne when I was a teenager)
26. Flowers For Algernon
27. The War Of The Worlds
28. The Mists Of Avalon
29. The Left Hand Of Darkness
30. I Am Legend
31. The Time Traveler's Wife
32. Journey To The Center Of The Earth
33. The Dispossessed
34. Something Wicked This Way Comes
35. Wicked
36. The Eyre Affair
37. The Illustrated Man
38. Doomsday Book

Seen the movie, haven't read the book:

1. A Clockwork Orange
2. Starship Troopers (for the record, I think it's a really good movie)
3. Contact
4. The Road (I keep trying and failing to read Cormac McCarthy. It's not that I don't like him, but there's so. Much. STUFF. in there that I can't slow down enough in order to really get it. It's just too dense.)

Of all of the listed books, my personal favorites are (in no particular order):

• The Handmaid's Tale
• The Time Traveler's Wife
• The Left Hand Of Darkness
• The Dispossessed
• Fahrenheit 451
• Doomsday Book
• Flowers for Algernon
• Wicked

And other personal sci-fi and fantasy novel favorites that I would add to my list:

• Kindred, Fledgling, and Bloodchild, all by Octavia Butler
• Passage, my favorite Connie Willis
• Engine Summer, by John Crowley
• Little, Big - also by John Crowley. I just got the audiobook read by the author.
• The Sheep Look Up, by John Brunner
• The Stone That Never Came Down, by John Brunner
• The Color of Distance by Amy Thomson
• Moderan (Festung Zehn, in German), by David R. Bunch
• Das Jesus-Video, by Andreas Eschbach ... and ooooh! German Kindle books!!!
• His Dark Materials (The Golden Compass trilogy), by Phillip Pullman

If a zombie romantic comedy and vampire noir count in this category, then I would also add:

• S.G. Browne's Breathers: A Zombie's Lament
• Charlie Huston's Joe Pitt series
