For the New Year I typically don’t set New Year Resolutions but this year I’ve decided to try something new. I want to read all or at least 12 of the best Sci-fi novels written of all time. I’ve compiled a list of 17 of the greatest Sci-Fi novels ever written. I also create a list of the best Nebula and Hugo award winning books. I’ve left out some of the obvious ones like Ender’s Game, Nueromancer and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep but if you know of any books I’m missing please feel free to add to the list!
