Post-1970 is killing me. The books just don't have the intellectual heft of earlier years.

Hmmm. Too bad. I'll have to be in thought about that.
So, I loved The Magus by John Fowles, but only the revised version that was published in 77. Can that be used for my best of the 70's? It's a toss up between that and Falconer by John Cheever.
I wonder about the same dilemma regarding Stranger in a Strange Land originally published in 61, but the version released in the late 80s was much better.
