Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

Locus has three lists of 50 or more books that were voted the greatest SF novels of all time. The polls were taken in 1975, 1987, 1998. Id really like to see these added to the books lists section

Location: Dallas, Texas		Thanks for the links. Hmmm..... not a whole lot of difference in those lists especially at the top end. I'll put up the last one, 1998, for sure but the others will likely have to wait a bit. I've still got the Pringle 100 to do first.

Location: Dallas, Texas		The

1998 Locus Best SF Novels of All-Time

list is up.

I had to add 15 more books to finish out this list including a single volume edition for the Foundation Trilogy. Also I added The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds.  We had as a combined omnibus edition for the SF Masterworks series which chaffed whargoul something fierce.  He'll be happy he can check off WotW now.  He's been bugging me to add separate entries forever.

The other weird thing is the list has Riverworld, the entire series, as one book.  I could not find a single volume omnibus with all the books so I just put up the first book To Your Scattered Bodies Go.

Enjoy.
