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...

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? |
