In recent years SF books have sort of graduated in the public eye from "pulp" to
bona fide "literature" as evidence by the sudden inclusion of many good SF books
into the national best sellers lists.  While there have been many such books, 
they are still too few.  But while they are still few enough in number, it 
should be possible for us to compile a fairly good list of such books.  Include
straight SF even fantasy.  (I would like to include Stephen King too, but that 
might be pushing it a bit too far...)

Here are a few that come immediately to mind:

Asimov -- Foundation's Edge       Heinlein -- Friday
Clarke -- 2010:  Oddessey Two     Donaldson -- White Gold Wielder
                                               The One Tree
	                                       The Wounded Land

I know Marion Zimmer Bradley had at least one, but I don't remember the
title.
Anybody want to have a shot at it?
