1968: The Year Science Fiction Exploded
I don't know if those are going to show up here as they're not on the wiki 'year in literature' pages
I use the "category: (year) novels" lists, not the year in lit ones.

I want to try and vote for one of the later PKDs but I think it's between that and Nova as the only two I've read (I should pick up The Quest For Christa T. by Christa Wolf as I love Cassandra). PKD it is.

"A Wizard of Earthsea" and "A Fan's Notes" has got to be the starkest contrast yet between novels I really care about appearing in the same year of this poll.

Is Arthur Clarke 2001 a film tie in novelisation or a reissue of the Sentinel tied to the film

It was written concurrently with the film; film and novel are both based on several different Clarke stories, including The Sentinel.

Only a few choices for me, think I'm going for one of the 'read as a kid' ones, probably Chocky.

I should really read House Made of Dawn, as I've taught "The Way to Rainy Mountain" many times and love it more each time I teach it.

House... was Required Reading in an American Studies course I took, and I know or think I know I much enjoyed it, but the PKD forces its way up front in the memory smog, even past Nove.

Wonder if anyone else would vote for the same thing as me.
