I have the full list
here on my blog.
That's an impressive number you've read, Ian. I can only make 27 - though I have quite a few untouched on the shelf, and one or two I've read enough of to know I don't want to persevere!
Since the list includes fantasy, it would have been nice to see Theodore Sturgeon represented - 'The Dreaming Jewels' or 'More than Human', perhaps.
Interesting that Dick's 'Ubik' didn't make the list - that was the one that 'Time' magazine picked for their 100 best novels since 1923. But then I always feel the genius of Dick is dispersed across his work; it's hard to single-out one particular masterpiece. In particular I'd find it hard to pick one out of 'Ubik', 'The Man in the High Castle', 'Do Androids Dream...?', 'Flow my Tears, the Policeman Said' and 'A Scanner Darkly'. And even his patchier novels have brilliant things in them.
