Pick Five

[feste_sylvain]

If you had to pick five science fiction and/or fantasy short stories which you would deem "required reading" (i.e., someone who hadn't read one would be considered to have a major gap in their brain), which five would you pick?

Compiled list, in order of contribution:

1. "The Marching Morons", C.M. Kornbluth
   
2. "Nightfall", Isaac Asimov
   
3. "All You Zombies", Robert Heinlein
   
4. "The Last Question", Isaac Asimov
   
5. "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream", Harlan Ellison
   
6. "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas", Ursula K. LeGuin
   
7. "The Nine Billion Names of God", Arthur C. Clarke
   
8. "A Rose for Ecclesiastes", Roger Zelazny
   
9. "The Cold Equations", Tom Godwin
   
10. "The Gernsback Continuum", William Gibson
    

The first five were just off the top of my head; I'm certain you good folks would choose others.
