Book lists

Our book club just met, we had a great time. I looked up a couple of book lists on the internet today. This one lists the top 100 Science Fiction books based on a poll that he maintains at his website. I've read all of the top 16, and 24 of the top 25. This one is based on the book Science Fiction: The 100 Best Novels : An English-Language Selection, 1949-1984 by David Pringle. I've only read about 30 of Pringle's list, and only 5 of the top 25. Granted, this was published in 1987, and the latest inclusion was published more than 20 years ago, in 1984, it leans towards the classics.

This one is the recent Time Magazine list of 100 best novels since 1929. I've read about 30 of the 100, they don't rank them. Overall a pretty good list, only novels written in English since 1923, so there are some missing. This one is a complete list from Random House, and this one is a list from the New York Times, neither of which have any of the best contemporary science fiction. Here's one from the UK.
