Discussion on the SF & F Canon
It occurred to me today, while I was fiddling with my template, that we might have to start up a new blog for this canon idea. Why? Well, it would make navigating the discussion of particular works easier since navigating my site for a few related posts might be a little annoying. It’d be much simpler to have everything laid out in one little space.Is anyone against the idea of starting another blog? It would be only for the canon, and canon related things, nothing else.Also, I thought it might be a good idea to start off the canon by going through all the books that should be shoe-ins. It would be easiest to get all those we know will automatically be included. However, if you don’t agree with ones I’ve put up, please discuss it. These are just books I think would be considered shoe-ins. But I might be wrong. Science Fiction:Dune by Frank Herbert (haven’t read)War of the World by H. G. Wells (haven’t read)1984 by George OrwellNeuromancer by William GibsonA Clockwork Orange by Anthony BurgessFrankenstein by Mary Shelley Fantasy:Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. TolkienThe Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C. S. LewisDracula by Bram StokerThe Odyssey by HomerA Midsummer Nights Dream by William Shakespeare Any others you can think of? Any you don’t agree with? Why or why not? Let’s start this discussion!
