I thought I'd up the ante and see what folks come up with when asked to compile a list of books instead of authors. Just like the author threads, just post the first ten books that come to mind, love 'em or hate 'em.

Oh! Fantastic idea!
1. Fool's War
2. Playing God
3. Kingdom of Cages
4. I, Robot
5. Dune
6. The Man-Kzin wars (er, that was a series title, wasn't it?)
7. Reclamation
8. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
9. Stranger in a Strange Land
10. Ender's Game
I'll confess, I haven't read all the books on that list. But they popped into my head as being "science fiction" even above ones that I've read. Maybe I should break down and read them...
