My ongoing project is to reread (or read the first time in some cases), the essential novels and short story collections by the essential science fiction writers of the past 70 or 80 years. I’ve been focusing on the 1950’s authors, to begin with, and have taken that as my theme for my reviews on Black Gate. And for four or five years now, I’ve been revisiting the books of the grand three or four: Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein, and Bradbury. And, for their major books, I’m far along with A, C, and B, though with others to reread from the prolific Heinlein. So I’m beginning to fold in later writers, from the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, and beyond.
I’m tracking my reviews and posts on my Science Fiction Bibliography page (though it’s not up to date). And today, having folded in Gregory Benford as an author to revisit the major books of his career, I’ve added on that page a selected list of his books.
