Do you want read some, or any?
Here's a guide to picking one.

That would be cooler if I didn't disagree with a lot of the choices. In fact, I started trying to compose my own list.

The books chosen? I think it just went by the NPR list.
Then, we can raise serious questions about that list. . . .

Yeah, I didn't like the NPR list results. I've worked up 45 books in my "100 F/SF Books That Rocked My World" list.
21 of them are by females.
I need to do some more reading and re-reading before I find the rest, I suppose. Or maybe I'll just try to get to 50. 8-)

You can do 50 and then add 100. Maybe. If your muse doesn't decide that done is done.
