Anyone have any other links for "best of" lists? I should have made this a more general "lists" thread.When I was younger, I decided to read all the Hugo award winners. I finished with those, and then started in on the Nebulas. (Didn't get very far in that list though.) I need to catch up on the Hugo winners from the last 10 years though. There are several I haven't read now!
Here's another list of 100 from NPR:http://www.npr.org/2011/08/11/1390858...
And a cool visualization of said list:

Martin: Liked the book tree at box.net. Humorous and informative.
That Book Tree is fantastic, great find Martin! Thanks!

Armor was amusing, but it's pretty much just Starship Troopers without the social commentary. (If it's the one I'm thinking of.)
http://www.bestsfbooks.com/ - This site ranks sci-fi by considering 12 different awards. They have about three thousand titles they've ranked. It's definitely helped me find some new and great things to read. I also like that I can search by decade.
Loved Pandora's Star and Altered Carbon. Many on that list I shall have to add to my to-read list.
Of this list, I have only NOT read The Forever War, Pandora's Star, Revelation Space, Armor (never even heard of this one!), Oryx and Crake (interesting that this is the first one by Margaret Atwood), and Quarantine (though I have read others by Greg Egan).
There are definitely some really great books on this list.
