C'est vraiment un choix totalement personnel, sans le moindre caractère de cohérence ou tentative d'exhaustivité... En plus certains textes sont des nouvelles, pas des romans, et les oublis sont évidents...

[marc]

Isaac Asimov a été oublié. Et pourtant son cycle des robots est assez conséquent. Et Jack Williamson avec "Les humanoïdes" a aussi été oublié. Cette liste est très subjective.

En effet c'est un listing très (trop ?) personnel...
