A Brave New World is number 2 on that list. Station 11 on the list, which was pretty good. I recently purchased "The Man Who Fell to Earth" on an Amazon Deal of the Day.
Other than a handful, if I want literary quality, I look elsewhere. |
What do you think is of literary quality?
I think science fiction has some very good books that are well written. Have a read of
Hyperion for example. Very well written. Here are lots of others that are very well written. Also, another really good book is
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. And not science fiction, but still a literary work
The Hobbit and
The Lord of the Rings.
So please don't poo-poo other genre's just because you don't like some books.
