Nice list. Lists like this remind me of what a geek I am. Made it through number 8 before finding one I hadn’t read (but only read 3 more after that, so maybe not so bad). As a matter of fact I started Dick’s The Game Player’s of Titan last night. Bought it and read most of it in Poland a few years ago. Survivors of WW III play a game to try to couple successfully (have children). There’s some bad aliens in there somehow too, I don’t really remember.
