I like Professor Gunn's list, since it coincides so closely with my own.
This remains a very valuable list. Time I made it a favorite.
Oops! Already have :=D
I've just been looking at "Intro. to hard sf for the non-sf reader", and I have to say the guy omits some important hard-sf names. Where is Hal Clement? Greg Benford? I don't think this is among the best lists you've linked to here. I'm sure I could make a better one.
And that list of 50 sf works socialists should read is great. I wonder if there's a list like that for, say, libertarians.
The Top 100 Sf Short Stories list is an excellent one, but several of the stories on it are decidedly not sf (are fantasy). Also, something has gone wrong with numbers 48 and 97 (rogue characters in the titles).
