I don't want to argue about Fantasy vs. Science Fiction definitions, I prefer to just call it all speculative fiction. But since we have two lists, I think the following books should be on the other list, not this one:

A Night in the Lonesome October
Divine Misfortune
Chasing the Moon
Trick of the Light
and probably others I've missed.

In other groups its common to go by Goodreads shelving consensus. If the majority of users have it shelved as science fiction, then its science fiction. If the majority have it shelved as fantasy, then its fantasy. It it seems mixed, then its open to discussion.

HI, I am new to Goodreads and looking for the best SF book group (and I wouldn't mind hearing about movies and TV as well) to belong to. This looks like it may be it. I'm an author as well so always interested in new anthologies, agents and publishers too. Cheers Ed

We should probably remove Neuromancer since it was done a long time ago, but I'm not sure if Veronica and Tom ever want to revisit old picks.

Hey all, I added (or thought I did) a recommendation to the list, but don't see it up there now. I'm new so just wanted to check if I did it right. I clicked 'add books to this list' above, searched, and voted for my rec. Is that the right protocol?

No, it's scored by how you ranked it. It gets 100 points for being your 1st book. If you vote for 100 books, the last one will only get 1 point from you. So the one you added will be higher than most of the books that were only voted on by one person and some that were voted on by 2 or more. Yours was 400th when I looked.

I think we need to wipe the slate clean and start fresh. There's no way there are 1000+ people talking about the books that are getting chosen over on the message board. (Unless there's one I'm not aware of, in which case, it would be cool if someone could direct me there.) I think there are a lot of votes on these books from people who no longer swing by. Besides, I really want The Minority Report to be the next book. :) I've never read it.
