I don't understand. Why should we give your favourite sf novels our own rating? They're not my favourites - most of them, in fact, I don't think are very good at all.

Why bother posting then ian?

[iansales]

To find out the answer, I suppose.

iansales: its 'your' list of sci-fi novels you have to rate not his.
Well my own list is rater short (understatment there), but at least that means its easy for me to rate

Night's Dawn Trilogy 9
The Commonwealth Saga 8.8

Dune 8.5

[iansales]

Ah. That makes more sense. If you want to know what rating I give various sf novels, you could always look here.

LOL. You misunderstand.

Rate sci-fi novels/series that you've read.
The books I listed are those I have read. You can list sf novels that you have read. I have never asked you to rate my books.

Thank you for you rating. Much appreciated.

Sorry. I'm a bit picky. When it is in order, it is easier to analyze the data and see the trend.

[iansales]

Do you really want me to rate every sf novel I've read? That's going to be a couple of thousand books...

[Locksmith]

Wowee, you're not kidding. Cracking list on LibraryThing!

Holy i cant even fathom that much SF


Do you even remember 1/3 of them


Me i havent read even a 100 yet so it easier to remember them all and rate them.

[iansales]

There's a few that I know I've read but I can't remember much of their plots. But since they're usually pretty bad books, I'm not bothered :-) The rest... I can remember most of the stories, although some of the details I might have forgotten.

[Addy]

It's not really what you remember from books that matter, but what you learn from them. Aha!
