2. The Stars My Destination (S.F. Masterworks) by Alfred Bester

The list author says:
	"It's hard to believe that this ferocious, pyrotechnic novel of revenge was written in buttoned-down 1950s America. Gully Foyle is SF's greatest antihero."

14. The Emperor Of Dreams: Best Fantasy Tales (Fantasy Masterworks) by Clark Ashton Smith
