Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice rounded out the top five and is the most recently published, as well as yet incomplete. Douglas Adams’ indispensable The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was second, followed by Ender’s Gameby Orson Scott Card and Dune by Frank Herbert. Not surprisingly, hot on the tail of the Peter Jackson films, The Lord of the Rings took the top spot on the list, though without a doubt it would have been at or near the top on its own merits. I am sure there are academic (as well as non-academic) snobs out there who will give you various other renditions of what should be on the list.

What are the best science fiction and fantasy novels of all time?
