Keep looking for sf books for these lists. Go back and look at your tags and add sf book to the appropriate lists. Go back to your favorite authors and add their books to the appropriate lists. Or just vote for 100 books already on this list that have only 1 vote and I'll continue the hunt (and one person can only vote for 100 books which makes creating/maintaining a list like this one a group effort).

There are lots of worthwhile science fiction books between 100 and 999 ratings to add to the list. Go out there and find them. Or just vote for books on this list that I've voted for (and therefore only have one vote) and I'll go out there and find more of them. This 100 vote limit is annoying.

Thanks for the call out. I definitely agree that at over 25,000 ratings Gideon the Ninth should not be on this list. And I added it to the fantasy list.

But to maintain these lists requires a lot of help. And you don't need to be a librarian to do it. You just need to vote. Preferably for 100 books on each list that you know meet the criteria. Especially those books that are missing - but also those books that have only one voter.
