I'm not sure when it was written, but I ran across this list of the best science fiction and fantasy books this century, and I resonated with the ones I've read, so I thought I'd see what others thought of it. Have you read many of them?

I'll disagree with you on How to Lose the Time War, but Library at Mount Char is absolutely goated, and I'm surprised it's not on the original list.

I have Mount Char on my to read list, but Time War was a dnf for me. Just could not get into it.

I can totally see that Time War isn't for everyone, it's quite an odd one in style, structure, and just about everything else.

I actually really liked the style and structure! It had me hooked the whole way through, but it lost me at the last third or so, for reasons I can't quite remember now.
