The List Fantastic

NPR just released the results of a call for the hundred best sci-fi/fantasy books according to their listeners/website readers. I am sort of saddened that I’ve only read 15 of the outright books*, and honestly, didn’t like many of them (one of the two Terry Pratchett entries is also the only Pratchett book I have ever sold off).
Of course, it’s hard to calculate just how many to say I’ve read: entire series were granted one entry each, and of those, I’ve read:
- One book in the Belgariad
- Four in the Wheel of Time series
- About 12 Xanth books
- The first Dune
- Every damned Vorkosigan book.
- The Fellowship of the Ring
Sometimes I think I’m just contrarian: even The Last Unicorn isn’t my favorite Peter S. Beagle book!
