Carl Sagan wrote novels? (scratches head) I guess he did with "Contact", but wasn't he more famous for his scientific and science popularizing non-fiction works?
This brings up another pet peeve of mine, that the only books on 'best books' lists these days are novels on the most part, with the Bible thrown in for whatever reason also. Non fiction works get rather short shift on most lists, ditto books that don't seem to fit in any clear category (such as "Gödel, Escher & Bach", "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", and "Fate is the Hunter".
