And when one is discussing classics, one should never forget Hodgson. The Nightland still really kicks the hell out of pretty much anything else, except The Rings (which is not sci-fi). It still blows my socks off in terms of scope and story line, and the character is all by himself for 75% of the book. Remarkable.
In fact, I would nominate the The Nightland for THE GREATEST SCI-FI WORK OF ALL TIME award (so far).
