Okay, the group round is done, and we're left with sixteen books that will go head-to-head until we arrive at a victor. We'll wait until after the holidays to start the new rounds, that should give you a chance to read any of these you've missed:
The Martian Chronicles - Ray Bradbury
Ringworld - Larry Niven
Dune - Frank Herbert
Stranger in a Strange Land - Robert Heinlein
Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keyes
Foundation - Isaac Asimov
1984 - George Orwell
Cat's Cradle - Kurt Vonnegut
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
Frankenstein - Mary Shelley
The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
Starship Troopers - Robert Heinlein
Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Philip K. Dick
2001: A Space Odyssey - Arthur C. Clarke
War of the Worlds - H.G. Wells
In the
second place runoff last week you'll note that
Foundation and
Man in High Castle ended up tied. Well, to avoid further runoffs, I discounted my own vote, which was for PK Dick's work. That will continue going forward - I'll essentially have a tiebreaker vote only.
I've actually read 15 out of the 16 books in the final, with the exception of the Handmaid's Tale (which I've seen the movie of, for whatever that's worth). How many have you read?
