The other day I made a post I just finished reading all of the Sci-Fi on Reddit's 200 most recommended books that took off a bit more than I was expecting. I was marking the occasion of having finished reading all the Sci-Fi on this list of suggestions buried the the subreddit's wiki page.

​

The post got a lot of responses and prompted some interesting discussion. Unsurprisingly, it prompted a lot of suggestions about what should have been included on the list and what I, personally, should read next. Being no newb to Sci-Fi, I've already read several of the suggestions, but as the comments kept coming they became more varied and at some point I decided to start making a list.

​

So I present to you...
