Guardian Newspaper 1000 Novels discussion

Categories open for nomination for April 2024 are:

Sci-Fi & Fantasy and State of the Nation

to help with choosing nominations, I have updated the threads containing the full list of books in each of these categories, showing which books have already been read - hopefully these are useful:

Sci-Fi & Fantasy List

State of the Nation List

so let's have those suggestions...

Sci-Fi: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

State: Hard Times by Charles Dickens

Sci-fi: The Passion of New Eve by Angela Carter
SotN: What a Carve Up! by Jonathan Coe

For SF: The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood

For State of the Nation: The Jungle by Upton Sinclair

Good nominations so far, so I think I'll leave nominating this month.
