Ne znam jeste li ovo već vidjeli ili niste, ali svakako je zanimljivo: po blogosferi koja se bavi SF-om šulja se mem s 50 najvažnijih žanrovskih knjiga (po izboru SF Book Cluba) za razdoblje od 1953. do 2002. godine. Ideja je da se popis “šalje dalje”, dakle prenosi po blogovima, ali uvijek editiran: treba poboldati knjige koje ste pročitali, podcrtati one koje su vam bile grozne, u italiku staviti one koje niste uspjeli ni pročitati do kraja, i *zvjezdicom označiti* one koje su vam bile super. Dakle, da se igramo…
