Reading order

From what I've read, these books don't really forum a series in the usual sense; they're more like several different series and some stand-alone works sharing the same setting. Should this be moved to "Xeelee universe", with Xeelee Sequence possibly used to refer to a specific set of books in the universe?

Also, when making chronological lists, I prefer to sort by when the last scene in each book or sub-series is - basically try to have each one advance the overall history a little past the end of the previous one. --68.44.13.236 05:04, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, apparently there's a number of "Old Earth" stories set in the same universe, but I don't know how they fit into the reading order either. --68.44.13.236 15:40, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely not a sequence or series in the usual sense. Xeelee Universe would be much more descriptive. However, Baxter himself refers his works as "Xeelee sequence", so this should stay. --217.18.181.18 (talk) 10:56, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
