Oh nice . I ' ll stop by on my way home later tonight and let you all know . <| sep |> Toilet paper . We were running low . <| sep |> Reasonably good list , but if we ' re looking for books that forever changed yadda yadda , I think H . G . Wells is underrepresented . Wells blazed so many trails later traveled by science fiction writers that the genre would be very different without him . At least The Time Machine or The Island of Dr . Moreau should be here as well and drop The Windup Girl , it wasn ' t as good of a book , and I don ' t think it changed squat anyway . Other posts listed major works missing from the list P . K . Dick should definitely be included , also Lem , also Gene Wolfe . I ' d also add John Brunner Stand on Zanzibar or The Shockwave Rider belong here as well .
