The first six in a series of twenty, these William Faulkner covers were designed by John Gall with title lettering by yours truly. Check them out on Amazon and look for the rest in the coming months.

More than 5,000 of you nominated. More than 60,000 of you voted. And now the results are in. The winners of NPR’s Top 100 Science-Fiction and Fantasy survey are an intriguing mix of classic and contemporary titles. Over on NPR’s pop culture blog, Monkey See, you can find one fan’s thoughts on how the list shaped up, get our experts’ take, and have the chance to share your own.
A quick word about what’s here, and what’s not: Our panel of experts reviewed hundreds of the most popular nominations and tossed out those that didn’t fit the survey’s criteria (after — we assure you — much passionate, thoughtful, gleefully nerdy discussion). You’ll notice there are no young adult or horror books on this list, but sit tight, dear reader, we’re saving those genres for summers yet to come.
So, at last, here are your favorite science-fiction and fantasy novels. (And a printable version, to take with you to the bookstore.)

I’ve read 11 of the top 20 books and 23 of the 100 books listed on here. Seeing this list makes me want to revisit them all over again, but I guess I should use my time to read the ones I have not read, right? Or maybe I should start the ones I have sitting on my ‘to read’ pile from a little over a year ago.
So many books, so little time.
