Theme lists offer the reader a opportunity to sample the perspectives of various authors to see
what side of a topic towards which an author leans. Or it is compendium of most (if not all)
work done on the topic (great for student essays, eh?) which is of interest to the compiler
and those who have a similiar interest. Here are some lists put together on the SF Site
and others we've found.

Jews in Science Fiction
The author of the list includes all the novels and short stories he was able
to find. It does not include alternate World War II stories unless they
have a strong Jewish element to them. Wandering Jew stories are
debatable as to their Jewishness and are labeled with a [WJ].
These books have a special place in science fiction and fantasy.
They have been the reason why many of us read SF or fantasy. Their target market is
boys 10 to 17 years old. Some refer to them as the Hardy
Boys of Fantasy. Simple, straight forward plots, serial in
design. Very, very popular. It is suggested to start off young readers
with the Dragonlance Chronicles by Margaret Weis and Tracey
Hickman (3 books) or the Dark Elf Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore
(3 books).

Fiction Into Film List
The author has built a searchable list of movies (theatrical, direct to video,
or made-for-TV) that were based on works of fiction (including novels,
novellas, short stories, fairy tales, or whatever). This was expanded to
include not only movies, but also TV shows (series, miniseries, or
episodes of series).
Have you noticed the recent spate of novels set on Mars? Such recent work as
Red Mars, Blue Mars and Green Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson or Moving Mars by
Greg Bear? Well, there is a long and well-established history of fiction on Mars. My love of
science fiction began almost 40 years ago with Red Planet by Robert A. Heinlein. It
so entranced me that life without SF is too painful to consider.
