NPR Books asked people to nominate books for its all-time Top 100 SF/F list; they nominated a few thousand books. A panel of SF/F experts narrowed that field down to a few hundred. Now you can vote to get it down to the final hundred. You can choose ten books. CHOOSE WISELY.

Bear with me though, this journey is worth it. Before we begin, I'm going to take you on a small flight of fancy. Imagine, if you will, that an honest English Cheddar decided to take a holiday on the Continent, and found itself in Switzerland. Maybe seeking some great waterfall to encounter a perilous foe, it instead meets a sweet and charming Emmental. Romance blossoms, the Cheddar settles - foe forgotten, and the two have a child.
