David Pringle's 100 Best SF Novels
A list from David Pringle's 1984 book Science Fiction - The 100 Best Novels, 1949-1984. These are listed below in chronological order. I've read a lot of them, but there are still some to be taken care of, so
this page is to track my progress. I've also decided to try to read the books on a number of other lists
- see List Central for more information. Read BBC means
"Read before BookCrossing", so the the book is not registered on BC/has no journal entry.
