Random quote: It is over life, throughout its unfolding, that power establishes its dominion; death is power's limit, the moment that escapes it; death becomes the most secret aspect of existence, the most private. - Michel Foucault - (Added by: gallyangel) |

Regular Posts: 92 | It's a fun list (and I think the inclusion of series bumps up the number of books way above 50). Reading through it, I am left with two impressions; First, that genre fiction continues to go from strength to strength in it's scope, imagination and diversity. Sometimes, it's easy to look back at the classics from past decades but I think people will look back fondly on the last ten years too. Secondly, that I have an awful lot of reading to catch up on and at some point will have to accept so many interesting books won't get read. Of those books I have read on the list some I thought were amazing, most very good and don't think there was much I had not enjoyed. Thanks for sharing the list - link here https://www.npr.org/2021/08/18/1027159166/best-books-science-fiction... | ||

Admin Posts: 4003 Location: Dallas, Texas | Adele1967 - 2021-10-17 12:07 PM This new list came out in August. Are the Admin considering adding this to the Lists' Page? What does everyone think of this list? Good or Bad? Inclusive enough? I finally got around to checking out the NPR list - thanks, Adele, for reminding me it was there! Here is the link for those who haven't seen it: https://www.npr.org/2021/08/18/1027159166/best-books-science-fiction-fantasy-past-decade This new list picks up where the NPR: Top 100 Science-Fiction, Fantasy Books list left off. It's a good list and I think they were very clearly trying to make it inclusive. I think it would make a fine addition to WWEnd and I especially like that we already have all those books in the DB. I'll try to get to it in the next few weeks. | ||

Veteran Posts: 273 Location: behind the 4th wall | NPR is supposed to be putting out another list sometime this year as a ten year follow-up to the 2011 list. Also, I created a challenge to read books from the NPR lists so please come join the challenge! | ||
