The Martian Chronicles? Something Wicked This Way Comes? How could they not be there?Jodie Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442935205880334932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-50099066524320906852009-03-13T03:38:00.000+00:002009-03-13T03:38:00.000+00:00I think 66 books read is fabulous!!!

I completely agree that fantasy is seriously underpresented on this list as well. Where was Patricia McKillip? Any World Fantasy Award Winners? I've read both Shirley Jackson books and The Haunting of Hill House is a personal favourite of mine. I'm glad you did this list!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-26912176101289686102009-03-08T17:40:00.000+00:002009-03-08T17:40:00.000+00:00Charlotte, there are several I started and didn't ...Charlotte, there are several I started and didn't finish, too.<BR/><BR/>Simon, please do! I'm ashamed to admit I can't remember anything about Voyage to Arcturus except that I read it, it was so long ago. And I had a binge of reading Lessing, and then decided that was enough so I never got to Memoirs of a Survivor. I've yet to read either of the Jackson books, they are on my need-to-buy list, but I keep finding other things that are even more urgent.Jodie Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442935205880334932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-2004429534677132232009-03-07T21:58:00.000+00:002009-03-07T21:58:00.000+00:00Oh, sorry, 10! -Alice books (works of genius)-The...Oh, sorry, 10! <BR/>-Alice books (works of genius)<BR/>-The Haunting of Hill House(brilliant, but not as good as We Have Always Lived in the Castle)<BR/>-Lolly Willowes (also brilliant)<BR/>-Time Traveller's Wife (which I did like)<BR/>-Affinity (good... not great)<BR/>-Dr J and Mr H (remember nothing about this...)<BR/>-Memoirs of a Survivor (dragged a bit)<BR/>-Harry Potter (I do love these)<BR/>-The Victorian Chaise-Longue (wonderful)<BR/><BR/>So I liked nearly all the ones I've read - I must try more!
