Amazon recently put out their list of 100 Science Fiction & Fantasy Titles to Read in a Lifetime . I scored a 39, which means there are bunch new titles for me to check out.
List like this are always difficult to make, because who do you weed out of so many great sci-fi authors. There are a few that I would have changed. In just kids books, I can think of The Phantom Tollbooth, and The Black Cauldron series.
Since this handy list came out, I have decided that I am going to take the Amazon SciFi Challenge! I will read and post on each title in the list! You will be able to see where I am at by the handy “Currently Reading” widget on the right side.
That means I will be starting with 1984 by George Orwell. Like many of you, I read this in high school so it will be interesting to see how older me views the story.
If you want to play along, here is a PDF which has a list of the titles with links. Clicking and buying with the links supports this blog, so thank you.
So how did you do? Are there any authors or titles you think are missing? Anyone want to do this challenge with me? Let me know in the comments below!
