Top 20 "geek" novels

13 for me as well.

Big fan of Stephenson but having a hard time with the latest trilogy.

Also, I second the motion to put Ender's Game on the list. I might also add Farenheit 451

I have only read 7- I think mostly because there is a heavy bias toward sci-fi on the list, and I read far more fantasy than sci-fi. There are definitely a few on the list that I will read eventually, however.

I think The Foundation is the best thing on this list, with 1984 and Brave New World being the other stand-outs.

Where's the love for Stranger in a Strange Land? Heinlein rules.

I'd definitely put 1984 and then Brave New World way above the rest on this list in terms of "mainstream" popularity and recognition. I do agree the Foundation trilogy is good, particularly the first two books. My total was seven or eight.
