Should I feel good about myself that I've only heard of 3 of those?

I hope those three are the first three.

You got it...DAMN!!! How did "Dune" sneak in there? Make it four. [censored]! I'm a journeyman dork now.

I was slightly curious how you'd managed not to ever _hear_ of Dune. Again, to the people who haven't read (or heard of ) most of these, I'd still recommend Neil Gaiman. American Gods or Neverwhere would both be good places to start.

I had. Just missed it the first time, which is why I'm up to 4.

I've read 16/20. The results so far seem pretty much in line with what I'd expect. I thought the numbers for Snow Crash might be a little higher, and American Gods is far too low. I know geeks and non-geeks who like Neil Gaiman, and he's among my favorite authors.

I voted no on all of these. Also, I've never even heard of most of these books. I might be illiterate.

Only 2. Both of the Asimov books. I Robot is a great collection of short stories.
