Caution: Asimov's forum pages vanish after a while. Don't be surprised if the above link returns 404 when trying a few months from now.
A few mentions from discussion:
From Gardner Dozois:
- Theodore Sturgeon's shorts - "The Man Who Lost the Sea", "Baby Is Three", "Killdozer", "It", "Maturity", "The Other Man". Note "Baby Is Three" is probably more easily available as part of the fix-up novel "More Than Human".
- Edgar Pangborn's Davy - "perhaps the best Post-Holocaust novel ever written (with the possible exception of A CANTICLE FOR LEIBOWITZ)?" Also seconded by others. I'd not even heard the name Edgar Pangborn till now! Note: For all the praised showered on Canticle, it's a hard book to read for non-Christians. Neat concept, but a bit hard to read.
- Joe Haldeman's THE FOREVER WAR.
- 'Heinlein's "juvenalia" includes some of his very best work' but excluding PODKAYNE OF MARS & THE CAT WHO WALKS THROUGH WALLS.
- Olaf Stapledon
- Jack Vance's Lyonesse
- Geoff Ryman's The Unconquered Country
- George Stewart's Earth Abides
