That is – to our completely impartial eyes – as fine a reading list for someone wanting to explore the classics of SF as you’re ever likely to see (well, apart from … you know … the whole Hugo-winners list …). We are both proud and delighted to have such a high proportion of Hugo winners on our list. The only downside to seeing such a roll call of classics unfold before us is that now we don’t want to do any work for the rest of the day – just settle in with a pile of classic SF and spend the day reading . . .
