Name some Fantasy/Sci-fi novels that are considered to be classics please?
Here's your sci-fi list:





"Metropolis" by Lady Frieda Von Harbou.





"Frankenstein" by Mary Shelly (yes, it's philosophical, but it's about our relationship to technology, and therefore it's sci-fi.)





Anything by Jules Verne or H.G. Wells counts.





After WWII, the market started getting really hot. Heinlein, Philip K. Dick, Arthur Clarke, Asimov pretty much controlled the 50's and 50's and early 70's. Most anything by them is either considered Classic or at least a fun read.





Don't want to leave out Larry Niven, probably the most polite writer a reader could enjoy. "Ring World" is a classic in my view.





Same with "Sirens of Titan" by Vonnegut and "Venus on a Half-Shell" by "Kilgore Trought" (aka Philip Jose Farmer.)





The genre is huge. I'll let somebody else give you the Fantasy list.
Reply:Define "classic".





Do you mean old, like HG Wells


Or "widely read" like Heinlein and Asimov?
Reply:well I know Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (fantasy) should be considered a classic!!


also the Legend of Drizzt by R.A. Salvatore
Reply:I strongly recomend the "Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R.R. Martin. The first book is "Game of Thrones." One of the best written fantasy series I've ever read.
Reply:war of the worlds
Reply:Fahrenheit 451
Reply:Fahrenheit 451.
