SFbook meme

[valarltd]

Swiped from reannon since it's not like I have two novels waiting to be finished...


spud31 took Amazon's Top 100 Sci-Fi Fantasy books and organized them into an LJ friendly format. Same rules as the last book meme, although I doubt you read too many of these for school. Bold the ones you’ve read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn’t finish. Add (*) beside the ones you liked and would (or did) read again or recommend. Even if you read them for school in the first place, and a dash next to books you own but have not read.
