The First 100 Science Fiction & Fantasy Books the English Teacher Could Think Of

Just as the title says - I randomly brainstormed 100 Fantasy and SF titles, then stopped. Because the Fantasy & SF market is often focused on series, I have at times listed series titles rather than individual book titles. This is not a best of… list, and I have not read everything listed.
