This is my current Science Fiction Top 50 Books and Series, last updated in 2022-12-20.
Here’s some note about this list:
- It has single books, all series or one or more books in a series
- It’s based on my “now that I’m doing this” feeling and I’m sure it will change over time
- I considered the books I read since I started to organized them, so it’s probably lacking
- I add a (*) in front of the new entries
- I add a (#.) with the previous position
- Check how this list changed over time here
