[net.sf-lovers] REQUEST FOR BEST SF TITLES

knf@druxo.UUCP (FricklasK) (10/09/85)

I would like to compile a list of the best SF and Fantasy novels, as well
as opinions for the best first SF novel to read.  If all you sf-netters
out there would reply to the following questions, I will compile stats
and post them to the net in about 3 weeks (that's usually how long it
takes for both message and reply to get everywhere and getread by anyone   
interested.) 

   1) Best "hard" SF novel?

   2) Best "avant-garde" SF novel?

   3) Best SF "action" SF novel?

   3) Best fantasy novel?

   4) Best First novel?

   5) Best of all the above? (or another, if it doesn't fit into any
      of those categories)

Note: you can give more than 1 answer to any of the above questions, 
      but they'll get only 1/2 a vote each (for 2, 1/3 for 3, etc.)
Please give title, author's name, and if you know it, the year and 
  publisher.   If you can't remember the author or the exact title, 
  I'll try to guess, and will send you mail to confirm.

Thanks in advance,
