This is my reaction. *NM* MightyYT Send a noteboard - 15/08/2011 05:39:59 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?
Castle: This is so weird. I dressed up as him for Halloween.

Beckett: Me too.

~When Castle and Beckett met Gene Simmons.

Eh. At least it doesn't pretend to be a Best Of list. Rebekah - 12/08/2011 12:42:33 PM 1276 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 1253 Views
Yes. Which makes it difficult to complain about the choices. Rebekah - 12/08/2011 06:30:01 PM 1277 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 1270 Views

so you want Larry to decide? *NM* random thoughts - 16/08/2011 04:56:35 AM 642 Views
At least he'd cut out on some of the more moronic contributions? *NM* jh - 16/08/2011 06:43:42 PM 658 Views
yes but he would replace them with books written in Swahili *NM* random thoughts - 16/08/2011 10:51:07 PM 600 Views
Why not? Larry - 16/08/2011 11:40:23 PM 1266 Views

Uhura's name (on Star Trek) comes from Swahili for "freedom" (uhuru) imlad - 17/08/2011 12:54:45 PM 1618 Views
