Qualifications
- Only books which I have read are eligible.
- For purposes of this list, science fiction and horror are considered separate genres. Books in those categories are not eligible.
- All time travel books are eligible. In some cases, time travel is presented as pure sci-fi (technology-based); in other cases, it's the only unusual aspect of a normal fiction book. But for the sake of consistency, any book involving time travel will be considered fantasy.
- Short story collections are not eligible.
- Books for any age group are eligible; there is no discrimination against books for children or young adults. They are held to the same standards as more traditional adult fantasy, however, and this list is intended for educated adults.
- Links are to the paperback versions of each book, when available.
