Once a year, a question gets asked on rec.arts.sf.written: what were the best books of a given decade? So far this has been asked about the '50s, '60s and '70s so I am going to compile a list of candidates for the next time. I'd like to single out the best books that -aren't- commonly known or which at least saw lousy distribution.

My top two are the Rosinante trilogy (Alexis Gilliland)[1] and The Dragon Never Sleeps by Glen Cook, which got buried by Warner thingie (Questar?) when they had it. I should go look at the copyright on my George Turners. I am sure he did Drowning Towers back then, but Beloved Son is too early.

What books would you folks push?


1: Which I will count as a single because! that's why! Just Because!
