And in the comment thread, I find that someone's blogging illustrations for each of 69 Love Songs. Too awesome for words, which makes it handy that there are pictures.
Speaking of pictures, this is a pretty terrible SF/Fantasy "Best 100" list -- okay yes, LOTS of Vance, good, but The Fountainhead??? non-ironically??? -- but it includes paperback covers of great interest, including this wonderful UK cover for Gravity's Rainbow that looks like it would've earned the author's unqualified endorsement:
OTOH, worst dust jacket ever must go to this UK job for Maske: Thaery:
So hard to single out the worst flaw: the utter irrelevance to anything in the novel? The generic-wizard-cover quality? The fact that the publisher had to correct the misleading nature of the cover by stamping "SCIENCE FICTION" on it?
Quite an interesting list, but the number of repeat authors makes me question the breadth of analysis which went into it.
