Must-read Sci-fi & Fantasy books

Well, Earniel, Pooh is fantasy.

I find the books that I read and re-read and re-read are the best to recommend. They may not have that critical mass of approval in all the right circles but they have readability and meaning and provoke thought. So, must reads for me are the "I must re-reads" that are worth the time.

I was never a Pooh fan myself, probably turned off by Disneyfication, but I can grasp the concept if one reader is continually drawn in.

And, again, Dante really ought to be on the list of my recommends.

Regardless of Disneyfication, the story was fun to read.

I have only read Dante in High School, but I do not remember it well.
