 | Abarat by Clive Barker
Buy used from: £1.89 Surreal awesomeness. And, believe me, you'll want the illustrated hardback.
|
 | Stardust by Neil Gaiman
Buy new: £4.94 / Used from: £2.18 Funny, scary, heartwarming, and very well written. Best fairy tale ever.
|
 | River of Gods by Ian McDonald
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £4.00 Indian cyberpunk? Brilliant.
|
 | Going Postal (Discworld) by Terry Pratchett
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £0.30 Pratchett at his most optimistic. It'll make you proud to be human.
|
 | Night Watch (Discworld) by Terry Pratchett
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.39 A sophisticated commentary on the nature of Revolution. It took me a couple of readings to 'get it', but is now a firm favourite.
|
 | The Severed Wing by Martin J. Gidron
Buy new: £5.54 / Used from: £6.79 Alternate history. A flawed novel, but one of the most subtly disturbing that I've ever encountered.
|
 | Accelerando by Charles Stross
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.95 Postcyberpunk. Jargon-laden, but exhilerating, and with excellent characterisation.
|
 | Pavane (S.F. Masterworks) by Keith Roberts
Buy new: £2.57 / Used from: £1.95 Alternate history. Uneven, and possibly a tad simplistic. Noneless, a fantastic work of worldbuilding, with an elegently structured overarching narrative.
|
 | Air (Gollancz S.F.) by Geoff Ryman
Buy new: £1.05 / Used from: £0.01 Culturally sensitive cyberpunk. A politically-charged masterpiece.
|
 | Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (S.F. Masterworks) by Philip K. Dick
Buy new: £2.26 / Used from: £1.99 A gripping classic, from one of the masters.

Listmania!
