http://www.listsofbests.com/list/46736 This is a list of the best speculative fiction published between the years 1900 and 1999 that I have read according to me and/or others. I have awarded all of these books 4 or 5 stars. Speculative fiction includes science fiction, fantasy and horror. See also the Best Nonfiction of the 20th Century (http://www.listsofbests.com/list/46737) and the Best Fiction of the 20th Century (http://www.listsofbests.com/list/46725 ).
