A Grue Not Here's Comments

There's also the V3, another large nazi cannon. While the bore was 'only' 15cm/6in it was 150m long, compared to the 36m of dora. It was designed to fire on london from it's position deep in a bunker in france.

Well St Georges, Georgetown, a wooden cathedral of about the same height, has been standing for 110 years so I think this one has a decent chance of being solid, provided it's built well.

Rather a strange list, I can see the reasons behind the top 10 even if I personally feel Heinlein and Neuromancer should be much further down.

But The gods themselves, lucifer's hammer and red mars shouldn't have made the list, and good books like The Kraken Wakes, The rest of the rama series and 2061: Oddysey 2 are missing.

I'm surprised Consider Phlebas isn't on there either, I prefer it to use of weapons and player of games.

Poor Stephen Baxter gets left out entirely, there's no Sunstorm, no Light of Other Days, no Raft.
