The NPR 100
Lists, lists, lists, lists. Everyone likes lists. NPR are doing one here. They have cunningly called it a "Top-100 Science Fiction, Fantasy Titles", which can mean either favourite or best. First they asked people to nominate titles. Then they asked Giant SF Brains Gary K Wolfe, Farah Mendlesohn and John Clute to whittle down those picked to a list of "several hundred" titles on which people can vote. It is a... strange list. The usual suspects are there, of course. There are, happily, a number of women sf writers, though less than expected - I make it 22%.
Anyway, here is the list. Annotated. I've also put in bold those I've read, and in italics those I have on the TBR.
