NPR recently polled their readers, and after receiving around 60,000 responses, they posted their list of the top 100 books of fantasy and science-fiction. For the most part, I'm very happy with the choices. I think in a lot of surveys like this, it's the "Flavor of the Month" that scores more highly than it deserves. But this list contains an impressive amount of classics in their fields. I think the Elric series by Moorcock and the Conan series by Howard deserve to be way higher on the list, though.

I consider myself fairly well-read in these areas. How many of the top 100 have I read? By my count, 59. I've started creating a new reading list based on the books I haven't read from this list. I'm looking forward to it!
