And many happy returns of the day! :)
I snagged this from
beowabbit, but I have to agree with people who were questioning the inclusion of some of the books in the list. Maybe the following were the ones the Science Fiction Book Club could get the rights to publish.
Anyhow, without further ado...
( Fifty important SF books as compiled by the Science Fiction Book Club, with the ones I've read in bold and notes on others. )
So, I think I've already read 22 of them. Not too bad, I guess.
I think I'll make my own list of what I think is really cool and what I really want to read. Or, no, wait... I know you all have favorite books you feel are amazingly cool.
bravecows has mentioned "Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrel" a few times (more than a few times), and that would definitely go on the very top of my pile of 'to read' books. Recommend things to me!

I wanted to send
december_star an mp3 of The Brian Setzer Orchestra doing Brand New Cadillac with a backing of The Peter Gunn Theme, because this piece made me so very, very happy, (Eor says it's just my mad love for anything that includes or even sounds like the Peter Gunn Theme, but I think it has a lot to do with hearing a song I associate with the Clash done by a big band) but I have no idea if I could pull it off the CD because my CD drive refuses to recognize that there's even a disc in it.
According to the official site, Brian Setzer lives in Minneapolis. He's a Minnesoootan.

I have now determined the prize for playing! Ta-da! It will be an email from me with the correct answers. ;)
