Damn, now this sound like a panel I would have enjoyed. Cheryl Morgan chaired a panel at the Denver Worldcon with Charles N Brown, Gary K Wolfe, Graham Sleight and Karen Burnham discussing their choices of the best 20 SF works of the last twenty years.

nhw pointed me to this post by Niall Harrison discussing the same panel. he comes up with a consensus list:
(thanks Niall!)
In the spirit of Nicholas' statistical analyses I've figured out my reading pattern suggests I'm 38% match for Charles N Brown, 35% Gary K Wolfe, 35% Graham Sleight, 45% Karen Burnham and 40% Cheryl Morgan. I'm only 40% caught up with the consensus too.
I guess I need to read more.
Thanks also todrcpunk for her private communication include her notes from the same panel. I really have to get booking a holiday in Canada for next August.
