HUGE Best SF short story of all-time poll!
Okay, I was going to make a seeded tournament for this, but really, I don't have that kind of time and I would have no idea how to seed these stories - it'd be arbitrary. So instead, I took the 100 top-ranked SF short stories on this web site: Sci-Fi Lists and made a normal poll. You get to choose 5. By the way, this site is awesome for someone who wants to get serious about reading science fiction...

Where can I buy/rent these short stories? [/ QUOTE ] I'd try Amazon...there are a lot of compilations - both of certain authors and of various sci-fi stories. If you went into a book stoor and just browsed their science fiction section, I'm sure you could find a lot of these.

A Canticle for Leibowitz Walter M Miller [/ QUOTE ] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] This book's almost 400 pages long? If it counts, clearly the winner, but should not be in this poll.

EG I could see, but how did CfL start out as a short story? Was it just one of the three sections of the book, or all three compressed together, or what?
