You never heard of A Canticle for Leibowitz? Quite possibly the best single novel in the history of the SF genre, and certainly way better than Deathworld, as good a book as that is.

Leibowitz is also one of the few major SF novels to be written from a Christian (albeit Roman Catholic) perspective, though as a non-Christian (I am a Jew) I still love it. Great SF and also great literature.

A sci-fi list without Philip K. Dick on it isn’t worth much.

Whatever you do, never read 2002 Nebula Award winner "The Quantum Rose" - it's a sci-fi bodice-ripper and one of the worst things I've ever had the misfortune to read.

There have been some very good books in the Hugo awards lists in the last ten years, too bad this guy hasn’t read any of them. Blackout/All Clear by Connie Willis would be worth his time.

I’d actually read three of the nominated books this year, but not the winner. Oh well I was rooting for anyone to win over George RR Martin after the complete disaster of a book he put out last year.
