The SF and Fantasy Masterworks Reading Project<\/a> is a group blog “dedicated to reading and reviewing Gollancz’s series of genre classics in its entirety.” The site has inspired a few people to list the SF books in the series that they’ve read (in bold) and\/or own (in italics). Play along! It’s fun!<\/p>\n

The original list broke out ten special hardback editions, seven of which were also published in paperback. I’ve omitted the duplicates, hence the wonky numbering.<\/p>\n

Between Shadow and me we own almost all of these titles, so I’m not going to italicize; I’m clearly well behind in actually reading<\/em> them, though. I suck.<\/p>\n
