Dr. BDO's Problem Page : Classics
Dear Dr. BDO,
I've read a lot of recent Science Fiction and now I want to read some of the classics, but there are so many I don't know where to start. Could ou give your top ten classic Science Fiction novels to read?

Hello, Readalot. You're not going to draw me into one of those cheap traffic pulling lists! Just about everyone would name a different top ten, the real problem is whether you can get hold of them, as disappointingly many books drop out of print rapidly. Consequently I'd suggest starting with classics that are readily available, and no one is doing a better job of that than Gollancz: their SF Masterworks series started in 1999 and contains a great selection of classic Science Fiction, they've also brought out more limited lists of reissues recently as well. You should be able to find them at your local book shop or online, and it's a decent place to start. Enjoy!
