Time Magazine’s All-Time 100 Novels
Time magazine lists the All-Time 100 Novels (1923 to present, in no particular order).
Of interest to sf/f fans:
- Animal Farm by George Orwell
- A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
- The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
- The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkein
- Neuromancer by William Gibson
- 1984 by George Orwell
- Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
- Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
- Ubik by Philip K. Dick
I have read 3, though there were also unlisted works by Vonnegut (Sirens of Titan) and Stephenson (The Diamond Age). Of the entire list, 10 listed and different titles by 6 others, None of this means much; always enjoy lists, however(H)
Interesting that they picked Ubik over anyting else that PKD wrote. Personally my favourite is A Scanner Darkly.
Neuromancer? Is this actually good writing?
Snow Crash I liked a lot – but in the top 100? Hmm…
The rest I agree to – although I haven’t heard Ubik I have read the rest.
There’s also a graphic novel…The Watchmen (which is one of the graphic novels that convinced me that I don’t like graphic novels).
In many ways there seems to be little rhyme or reason to the choices.
Lists rarely do. They’re just fun.
The Morning News has collected comments on 1-star reviews from these 100 books.
The Watchmen (which is one of the graphic novels that convinced me that I don’t like graphic novels).
What are the other graphic novels you’ve read?
