Yes, what is this awesome source? — 4 years ago

Who ever made this list must have stolen my personal library from when I was in highschool. For 50 cents, well-loved and thumbed over copies of any of the books on this list can be found in a nearby used book store. Nice addition of Lem and Sturgeon!
