Classics of Science Fiction List updated to V.4

[BenG]

James Wallace Harris' Classics of Science List has been updated to version 4. Version 3 was eleven years old.

Harris compares 65 lists from both critics and polls and creates a list of the books that have appeared on at least ten of these lists, over half of which are from this decade. You can also view the earlier lists.

Here's his blog post explaining it all. He links to the list's website in the first sentence.

Sounds like a winner!

Interesting approach, looking for overlap in other lists.

I am surprised at how recent some entries are, like Paolo Bacigalupi's "The Windup Girl" or Ann Leckie's "Ancillary Justice." Both are excellent books but hardly old enough for me to consider classics.
