Entirely deserving of its place it is, IMO. But even I, historically a non-reader of anything SF or fantasy (save for very lately), have "The Hotel New Hampshire" in my collection. ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [RE][scifinoir2] Watchmen: On Time Magazine Top 100 Novels List Date : Sat, 21 Mar 2009 14:38:35 -0700 (PDT) >From : Bosco Bosco To : scifino...@yahoogro ups.com I think it's worth the being on the list but I'd put John Irving on as well Bosco --- On Sat, 3/21/09, Martin Baxter wrote: From: Martin Baxter Subject: [RE][scifinoir2] Watchmen: On Time Magazine Top 100 Novels List To: scifino...@yahoogro ups.com Date: Saturday, March 21, 2009, 3:16 PM Interesting that this should make the list, while John Irving is left off.

Though their heyday is past, these former crime-fighters are drawn back into action by the murder of a former teammate, The Comedian, which turns out to be the leading edge of a much wider, more disturbing conspiracy. Told with ruthless psychological realism, in fugal, overlapping plotlines and gorgeous, cinematic panels rich with repeating motifs, Watchmen is a heart-pounding, heartbreaking read and a watershed in the evolution of a young medium.L.G. http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=JQdwk8Yntds http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=JQdwk8Yntds http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=JQdwk8Yntds
