Listener Nelson sent me a fascinating web address that posits the 17 books that could have changed the science fiction landscape.
For me, I began reading SF in the early 70s, so the titles that really lit a fire under me were tomes like:
Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delaney - so few people read this powerful work by Delaney which deftly bent reality....
Foundation by Isaac Asimov - started me down the Asimov SF super highway which turned out to be a three book series.
c
Dangerous Visions by Harlan Ellison - I still get flash backs from many of the stories from this and other stories in this volume and follow on volumes.
Dune by Frank Herbert - what else needs saying than just the powerful title. So many works today can pay homage to the ground breaking series of Frank Herbert's Dune.
