The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, short stories & novellas
Larry Niven, Ringworld
Iain M. Banks, The Use of Weapons
Steven Brust, The Phoenix Guards & Five Hundred Years After
Dorothy Sayers, Murder Must Advertise
J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
John Galsworthy, The Man of Property
Patrick O'Brian, H. M. S. Surprise
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Complete Sherlock Holmes
Robert Graves, I, Claudius
John M. Ford, The Final Reflection
Terry Pratchett, Small Gods
Connie Willis, Bellwether
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Am I cheating by listing two Brust novels? I think they have to go together, though. The only embarrassments on the list are the Galsworthy and the Connie Willis. The Willis, while utterly delightful and something I'd recommend to anyone who stood still long enough for me to gesticulate at them, reveals that I have mostly froth between my ears.
