That Locus list

[communicator]

I have stolen from nwhyte his list of the Locus poll of 'best' SF and fantasy novels of the 20th and 21st centuries. Bold means I have read it, italic means I didn't finish it.

Conclusion: I have read more SF than fantasy. Something has alienated me from mainstream SF over the past few years.

I don't know if it's just me, but the default view for puts the entire list in italics as I look at it - which suggests that you haven't finished a single one of these!!!!

Oh, it doesn't on mine, but thanks for letting me know i will take it off.

I haven't read much recent SF either, and I always say it's my favourite genre. We only have one in common there (The City and the City); what can you tell me about the others?

Sorry not to reply before - was it my misfortune or has livejournal been a crock?

The Russians have been attacking again.

Merciful hour, you've got through a lot!

I look at that list and, although I think of myself as a SF/Fantasy fan, I've read feck all on it. I must remedy that.

My dad was an SF fan when I was small and I used to nick his library books
