seriously? Nothing by Hamilton is on there? imlad Send a noteboard - 12/08/2011 09:21:43 PM
That's very disappointing.


The results of NPR's Top 100 Science-Fiction and Fantasy survey have been announced. Most of the usual suspects are present (LotR, Dune, 1984) although some of the books listed were as surprise (I never heard of Sunshine before). But, of course, it's the who didn't make it that causes the biggest discussion all over the fandom (my personal peeve - Blindsight was not even among finalist)

So what do you think?
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

Eh. At least it doesn't pretend to be a Best Of list. Rebekah - 12/08/2011 12:42:33 PM 997 Views
Since it was voted on by fans, it would seem to be a Most Popular list. Nate - 12/08/2011 05:22:29 PM 970 Views
Yes. Which makes it difficult to complain about the choices. Rebekah - 12/08/2011 06:30:01 PM 993 Views
Depends how many votes you get Wibble - 12/08/2011 07:07:41 PM 943 Views

That makes sense but the problem is YA is more of a marketing tool than a genre random thoughts - 13/08/2011 03:27:45 AM 967 Views

Why not? Larry - 16/08/2011 11:40:23 PM 974 Views

Uhura's name (on Star Trek) comes from Swahili for "freedom" (uhuru) imlad - 17/08/2011 12:54:45 PM 1290 Views
