Random quote: My pass had disappeared. Not that I believed for a moment that this was an accident; in fact, I had suspected for some time now that the Cosmic Command, obviously no longer able to supervise every assignment on an individual basis when there were literally trillions of matters in its charge, had switched over to a random system. The assumption would be that every document, circulating endlessly from desk to desk, must eventually hit upon the right one. A time-consuming procedure, perhaps, but one that would never fail. The Universe itself operated on the same principle. And for an institution as everlasting as the Universe certainly our Building was such an institution the speed at which these meanderings and perturbations took place was of no consequence. - Stanislaw Lem (Memoirs Found in a Bathtub)

Change in the rules this year, which should make it easier to complete.

Location: Carrollton, TX		Just finished this with:

The Defining Science Fiction Books of the 1950s: Between Planets, Starman Jones, The Time Traders
The Defining Science Fiction Books of the 1960s: A Plague of Pythons
Baen Reader's List of Recommended Military SF: Space Cadet
David Brin's Science Fiction for Young Adults: Red Planet

I originally had a plan where I was going to complete this challenge with nothing but Heinlein books. What the hell was I thinking? I've read four Heinlein books so far this year, and the thought of reading another one is more than I can stomach.

So... six books across four lists. I think I'm going to go for the slightly tougher option and expand this to six lists. It occurs to me there is a rather glaring lack of fantasy and horror in my selections.

Plenty of time left if you want to expand.
