- lostlogin 4y agoA bit of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld was squeezed into the ‘90s, so that can join Harry Potter. Both series appear to have had bans in various places, so that’s got to add to their credibility.
- prometheus76 4y agoFight Club was published in the 90s. That book was responsible for getting a lot of people to read a novel who had previously not been interested in reading. Also, American Psycho deserves a mention.

- musicale 4y agoA Song of Ice and Fire got started in 1996 and still isn't finished. Is Sanderson busy?
