This meme makes it seem like I’m really deficient in reading geek books, but it’s missing really good books like Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles and Farenheit 451, or Clarke’s 2001… it totally ignores the other two letters of the ABC of Science Fiction 😛 Also, whoever did this meme really fucking loves Stephenson. I think there should be more Gaiman and Orson Scott Card… bleh.
