Lists of Bests: Shannon's "Spirituality in Science Fiction/Fantasy Reading List" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/57077 A list of novels - primarily science fiction - with strong religious, mythological or otherwise spiritual themes. Note: With some exceptions, short story collections, young adult fiction and series have been eliminated if so identified. Also, I have striven to include high-quality books only.
