To show my appreciation, I will vote even though I've only read two of the books on the 1997 list and suspect that The Calcutta Chromosome is quite good, actually.

Think X Files Script.

[coalescent]

That's not necessarily a bad thing. Although it does imply it's not science fiction.

Congratulations to frogworth and secritcrush for ticking the only two books on the list that are worse than The Sparrow!

[secritcrush]

Ah well I've reached the stage where I'm mostly ticking random books based on the title. The only one I've read is the Sparrow, and I'm sure as hell not picking that.

I was refering to 1997 list but you are right, not ticking The Sparrow is the most important thing.

[communicator]

You should have a choice 'anything but the fucking sparrow'

Write ins,

Spares by MMS, an amazingly cool book and brill SF.
The bloody Red Baron by Kim Newman, is it sf, or alternative history or horror.
will I get killed for saying Memory by L. M. Bujoid.
The Reality Dysfunction by Peter F Hamilton
The Star Fraction by Ken Mcleod
Northern Lights? Mr. Pullman

But not the Stainless steel rat goes to hell, OK, and definitely not Days of Bitter Strength, Chung Kuo Book seven, by D. Wingrove.

A Japanesse Bladrunner. shit, that brings back memories, ;-)

Star Fraction is the year before and will be on the next poll. Spares I thought had made it on but apparently not. You're right that it deserves a place.
