Beautifully Written, Literary Fantasy and Science Fiction (112 books)

This list is meant for both "literary", character driven books that have strong sci-fi and fantasy elements (such as The Time Traveler's Wife). And also books that are firmly rooted in genre, but whose prose is so rich it borders on poetry (like In the Night Garden, by Catherynne Valente).
