We're still hard at work on the SF and Fantasy Materworks Reading Project and still showing how we stack up in the scheme of things. We did this with the Sci-Fi list of Masterworks first and not it is time to turn to the Fantasy set, which I was hoping to have done better at. What I've bolded are books read and italics means I own it, but it has been gathering dust. Hopefully in a year's time this list will look a lot more bolded.

Only 6 read out of 50 with 5 others owned but not read. Pitiful. That'll be changing as my next read for Masterworks will be Lud-in-the-Mist. So what does your list look like?

I'm actually (surprisingly!) close to reading the set. Which, I guess, means I've got yet another reason to try reading Jonathan Carroll....
I guess you're not doing a Crime meme, huh?
You're certainly doing better than me. Hey, if you have time we're still looking for a couple other Masterworks reviewers.
As for right now we are sticking to the SF and F lists, but go wild and start the Crime meme!
Is there a crime masterworks series?
In fact Gollancz did do a Masterworks crime series. They didn't get as far as they have with the F & SF lines. Under 30 books I believe. Did I just make you need to buy more books?
Just finished Time and Again - really liked the finish. Have you started Ringworld yet? I read the first two in that series.
Ringworld will be the next book I read. Right now I'm wading through THE PASSAGE. Man this is a big sucker, but it almost has me.
Time and Again definitely had a strong finish. Finney wrote a sequel starring Sy that I just may check out.
