Here I list those science fiction novels which I've found to be of rereading-worthy quality over the years. This page started out as an attempt to list and rate every single science fiction novel I'd read since June 1996; this proved over time to be a doomed effort.

I index books by author's last name. Books in bold italic are those I consider to be especially Great.
