David Pringle sin klassiske bok Science Fiction: The 100 Best Novels : An English-Language Selection, 1949-1984 supplert med Science Fiction : The 101 Best novels 1985-2010 av Damien Broderick og Paul di Filippo favner til sammen om en fin(tror jeg) samling med science-fiction bøker som er verdt å få med seg hvis man vil ha med seg noe av det bedre innenfor sjangeren, i den gitte perioden. Jeg synes i alle fall det er et fint utgangspunkt for en som meg, som liker sjangeren men har lest flaut lite av den tross alt. Listen over de første 100 bøkene har jeg "lånt" fra Listology.com. Den nyere listen har jeg kopiert fra Reader`s List. De bøkene jeg har lest vil merkes med fet skrift.
