I did consider that as the guy compiling the list I shouldn't actually contribute but then I decided
that I was being a little anal.
1: Dhalgren, Samuel Delany
2: Count Zero, William Gibson
3: Cryptonomicon, Neal Stephenson
4: The Bridge Trilogy, William Gibson
5: The Book of the New Sun, Gene Wolfe
6: Neuromancer, William Gibson
7: Vurt, Jeff Noon
8: Gravity's Rainbow, Thomas Pynchon
9: V, Thomas Pynchon
10: Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson
Honourable mention: Nightshade, Jack Butler; Voice of the Whirlwind WJW : Life: A Users Manual
Perec; Underworld Delillo.
Criteria being a combination of my sense of whether they're great but also, like othershow much a
personaly enjoyed them and refer back to them. I don't pretend for a second that if I were as well
read as some P-listers that this list would remain intact but I hope some volumes would remain.
