With a compendium such as this it is impossible to keep everyone happy and stil lend up with a list adhering to most standards of integrity, so we will not say that all of the material here is fine literature. Much of it is absolute pulp. However, for almost every cheesy sci-fi novel you find here you will find a piece of mind-blowing literature to match it. If there is one thing we can say about this list which would be true, it would be that these are works which were reccommended by tabbers. It was proposed that this list be carved in twain; one list of high writing, and list of the base. That still may happen in future editions of this listing, but for now we prefer to stay true to the only constant we can hold on to - that of remaining indicative of what tabbers read, from their spare time to their university classes. Addendum: if this ever ends up on the web, I'd like to link the works on the list to actual copies of them on the WWW, through the travails of such organizations such as the Gutenberg Project. \ (o)__ /vvv ' --------==<*>==-------- | The TabNet Reading List \AAA-------==< >==-------- __/: /` ' Author Title --------------- ---------------------- Adams, Douglas- The Increasingly Inaccurately named Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Life, the Universe, and Everything, So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish, Mostly Harmless, and Young Zaphod Plays Safe) The Dirk Gently Series (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long, Dark Tea-time of the Soul) Last Chance to See Salmon Doubt The Meaning of Liff (coffee table book #1) The Deeper Meaning of Liff (coffee table book #2) Adams, Richard- Watership Down Alexander, Lloyd- The Prydain Chronicles (The Book of Three, The Black Cauldron, the Castle of Llyr, Taran Wanderer, The High King, and The Foundling and other Tales of Pydrain) Time Cat Alleghieri, Dante The Divine Comedy Aristophanes- Lysistrata St. Augustine- City of God Anthony, Piers- Macroscope Hard Sell Incarnations of Immortality (On a Pale Horse, Bearing an Hourglass, With a Tangled Skein, Being a Green Mother, Wielding a Red Sword, For Love of Evil, And Eternity) Asimov, Isaac- Foundation Aspirin, Robert- The Myth series (Another Fine Myth, Myth Directions, Hit or Myth, Myth Alliances, Myth Conceptions, Little Myth Marker, M.Y.T.H.
