Since I'm going to be an active participant on the SFF Masterworks review blog, I thought I might give an idea to the readers here just what I have read or at least bought out of the books added to the list so far (see the sidebar for the Fantasy Masterworks list and what I have read/acquired). This list will include books coming out later this year. In addition, the roman numbers indicate books originally released as part of a hardcover subset, so there will be some duplicates on this list. Bold means I've read it, italics that I own but haven't read it, and plain means I haven't yet bought and/or read it. Links will be provided to reviews that I have written, either here or on the SFF Masterworks blog.

I've got the review site on the old RSS feed - love the idea, as I've been slowly collecting both series for a while now. My only complaint is that I wished Gollancz would've keep the same format for the new titles they're adding, like Cat's Cradle, Inverted World, etc. Would've been nice to have the whole set all matching.
Still, it's an incredibly strong collection, even with the missing titles copyright don't allow for.
Yeah, for all the limitations that they are going to experience with copyright, what they've managed to publish has been interesting in regards to the variety of styles and narratives. There are some flaws, however, which I believe we will cover in some essays in the near future that will appear on the SFF Masterworks blog.
This blog is a great idea! I love the SFM series, and I've read many of them as well. I can't wait to see a review of "Stand on Zanzibar".
I'll do a little post about the project on my blog.

Fun as I think this idea is, leave it to me to be the voice of dissent...
I prefer sites that feature one to not-too-many-more-than-one reviewers. If I read ten reviews from one source then read the books myself, I can claim to have a good understanding of what, "This book rocks/sucks donkey balls" means in regards to that particular reviewer.
That's not to say that all reviewers involved won't do a fine job only, that the audience may need to exercise more prudence when looking for suggestions.
That being said, I can't wait to see the comments for The Dispossessed as I just finished it and put up my own thoughts on a fantastic book. It's fun to see other peoples reactions to a book when it is still fresh in my mind.
I like the idea! A group of reviewers will be able to cover more books and I guess it's okay to have more than one review per book, right?
Some books that are not bold nor italic:
Gateway is not to be missed and still stands the test of time. It has some parallels to Mindbridge from Joe Haldeman, a book that seems to be almost unknown.
Downward to the Earth from Silverberg and Roadside Picnic from the Russian brothers Strugatzki are also great reads.
