The Pointless, Yet Poignant, Crisis of a Co-Ed

NPR's top 100 SF/F books. Bold if you've read, italicize ones you fully intend to read, underline if it's a book/series you've read part but not all of, strikethrough if you never plan to read.

( Final Verdict: 35 Read, 8 intended, 7 Incomplete, and 2 Barred. My batting average, it is low. )

Do you, like the rest of the internet, feel like this list skewed overly old, white, and male? Wondering why Watchmen made the list and Ghost in the Shell and Y:The Last Man didn't, and where the hell A Wrinkle in Time and The Tough Guide to Fantasyland were? Head on over to eruthros's journal, where she's accepting nominations for Fandom's Top 100 SF/F works in all media!

When Fringe first began, I didn't like Olivia Dunham, making me a proud holder of common yet unpopular fannish opinion #42,809,567 (CYUFO #6,043: Yea Verily, Aeneas was a Whinging Prick.). I didn't hate her. That would have required effort. I was bored by her. She embodied everything that was bad about Fringe Season One: her imaginary head-boyfriend was the plot coupon dispenser, her immediate superior was the annoyingly slow information tap Broyles, and her personality was the equivalent of seaside vanilla ice-cream, in that it was cold, flavorless, and unlikely to make a stain on the imagination.
