Only 17 out of 100. How sad.
I was very happy, although not surprised, to see Startide Rising and The Postman on the list. Those are two of my favorite books both by David Brin (please don’t judge him by that awful Kevin Costner movie). If you want to read another really great David Brin book check out The Kiln People.
