100 Top Sci Fi Books on 10:39 - Jul 7 with 2058 views | Steve_M | 13. I thought it might be more given I had read all of the top eight but about right given I don't read much fiction these days. Edit as I missed Blindness on the first run through. [Post edited 7 Jul 2020 10:41]

100 Top Sci Fi Books on 10:42 - Jul 7 with 2050 views | BlueBadger | 22. I thought that was pretty feeble but I'm currently second top scorer. Although I have counted 'Slaughterhouse 5 which I've never finished for some reason. [Post edited 7 Jul 2020 10:43]

100 Top Sci Fi Books on 10:54 - Jul 7 with 2033 views | Clapham_Junction | 20 for me. Some I really struggled through. I remember Dune in particular being a bit of a slog (and I only read it as I was addicted to playing Dune 2 as a 14 year old). | | | |
100 Top Sci Fi Books on 10:54 - Jul 7 with 2031 views | WeWereZombies | Just eleven, I think. But I have read all the Iain M. Banks books and some Harlan Ellison so I reckon I am ahead of someone who has only read that hundred. Also, no Neil Gaiman or J.G. Ballard? | |

My sci-fi loving mate at work looks like a kettle reading that list! Just muttering about space operas and rocking back and forth now... | |

It says the list is limited to one book when they're from a series. | | | |

Ah, I didn't read that bit :). Still think it's rather low but then lists like this are always a bit subjective. SB | |

If we are counting ones we haven't finished then I am up to 15 as I have never finished 1984 on the grounds that is boring as fwck. | |

Brave New World. You read it at school because it was on the syllabus. | |

Incorrect, wasn’t on my syllabus. For the record I didn’t read this book at school. | |

100 Top Sci Fi Books on 11:48 - Jul 7 with 1913 views | LankHenners | They give their definition at the start but a bit dubious to count some of them as 'sci-fi'. 17, anyway. | |

Aye. I'm still wondering what makes Animal Farm sci-fi? | |

Is it because the animals can talk? Which is also why Bambi is one of my favourite Sci-Fi films. | |

100 Top Sci Fi Books on 11:54 - Jul 7 with 1889 views | sparks | 21. But the list seems highly questionable as a reference point and is a damning indictment of readers generally:-) 3 Neal Stephenson novels and a Star Wars franchise job? And Ready player One? Really?! Popularity does not equal quality! It may be more than 21. I have read a lot of Heinlein and may have read a couple more than I have given myself credit for on the list. I started Snowcrash as well- but could get past three chapters. Was awful. Man in the High Castle is obviously only there due to the series. [Post edited 7 Jul 2020 12:00]
