Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser at Time Magazine

Or Techland, a web site run by Time. Still ... here it is. The pic accompanies Lev Grossman's list of the 6 best fantasy novels ever. And here's the list:

– The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
– The Once and Future King by T.H. White
– Fritz Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories
– The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
– Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke
– Magic for Beginners by Kelly Link

One sees the usual problem with these things, namely that a bunch of stories is not a novel. Oh well. For the record, I've read all the books listed except for Magic for Beginners, which I had never heard of until I saw Kelly Link's blurb on the back of Grossman's fine new novel, The Magicians. It's been a long, long time since I've had the habit of reading fantasy/s.f., and it's nice to know some good stuff is awaiting me if I get back in the swing of things.

update, As of 8:40 pm, eastern time, on Nov. 25, Time ranks the fantasy book list as its most visited Internet item.
