I don’t get it. What would you expect a list of Yudkowky’s favorite books look like?

Like this, really. All SF and Fantasy, with a lot of YA books. The only exception is books by his paypal mafia sugar daddies

So, a little childish and escapist fiction, is that a correct impression?

Oh, but the books listed here are classics compared to what he [normally reads](https://www.reddit.com/r/HPMOR/comments/2zcubq/collected_fanfic_recommendations_from_hpmor/) (mostly fanfics, anime and manga).

I never understood the attraction of nerds/STEMicists to fantasy, if only REALZ can REAL. But in Big Yud’s case it makes sense since singularitarianism is fantasy anyway, so it’s par for the course.
