Amusing flowchart guide to the best books (Fantasy and Science Fiction)

I came across a link to this amusing flowchart guide to picking a science fiction or fantasy book on the Iron Sky twitter channel, and thought it was worth posting here.

The full size version is at the link below:

The Dune chronicles are half way down the page, towards the right-hand side of the page.

If Dune wasn't included, I would NOT have posted the flowchart!

Personally, I would have struck off most of the fantasy books to make more space for Orson Scott Card (although at least Ender's Game is on there...), Ben Bova, Larry Niven and Heinlein.

Mmm. Looks like Neal Stephenson has some new books out that I haven't bought yet... Time to get my credit card out!

That is an awesome deal. I'll have to look into some of these.


It has my two favorites, so I hope the rest of the books on here are that good.

What's scary is that I've read most of these books. I guess I should start going through the ones I've missed LOL. They probably should have included some of Tad Williams work. Otherland is as good a science fiction series as any I've read.

heres a story of epic proportions

I've probably read about 80% of that flowchart, lol...so considering the company, going to have to give the other 20% a shot! Thanks!

Surprised I missed this thread when it was first authored. I think I am right around where you are 70-80%. Many of these are must reads for anyone into Sci-Fi or Fantasy Fictions.

This is great! Thanks Isaac!

Great chart Isaac, I'm about halfway through Dune at the mo (first reading) and it's awesome.

Quite a few I haven't read but glad to see 'Flowers For Algernon' on there (also 'Snowcrash', 'American Gods' and ''The Forever War').

OP, you are awesome for posting this. Stars to anyone who flags this thread!

Cool chart. Would definitely add Tad Williams Otherland series and also a book that is close to my own heart The City and the Stars by Arthur C Clarke. Stephen King's Dark Tower is a must for lovers of a long book series. He's probably writing more too.
