Hi Chella. I didn't mean to horn in on your project, I thought I was helping. I said I would start at the bottom assuming you would start at the top.If anyone else wanted to get in they could start at fifty and go either backwards or forwards. I've done 94 to a hundred, so can easily stop if you don't want help. Just say so.Bob A conservative, a moderate and a liberal go in a bar.

Great list. Roger and Rick, you both bring good points about the merger of fantasy and science fiction. I'm surprised there aren't any alternate histories in this list. Chela, I'll help anotate the list. I'll start with 100 and go backwards so others can chime in where they can.
