Mark Bould, Andrew M Butler, Adam Roberts, & Sherryl Vint (eds)' "The Routledge Companion to Science Fiction" (2009): Reading lists

This is not a review post. My interest in this book has been primarily for its apparently excellent reading lists. This post will act as anchor for those lists.

While the book does not have any explicit recommended reading lists, each chapter references a lot of stories in its text; just putting them together in a list seems to yield very interesting reading lists of relevant subjects.

Links on chapter titles below lead to reading list compiled from specific chapter (including fiction download links where appropriate). I've already posted 3 lists, & have notes from some other chapters; will have a few more lists coming in days ahead.

The book is divided into 4 parts:

1. "History" (ch 1 - 18).
2. "Theory" (ch 19 -32).
3. "Issues & Challenges" (ch 33-44).
4. "Subgenres" (ch 45-56).

ToC below lists just chapter names, along with its author (but without reference to part). If there is a link on chapter, it goes to reading list seeded from its text. Links on author yield more works of author.

Refences in the book contain all kinds of stuff - written fiction, movies, ... My lists generally strip everything but written fiction.

Lists are heavy on novels, though there are occasional short fiction entries. This is because of book's bias.
