I should be finishing my BBB story. Here, have a meme!

NPR's list of the top 100 sci-fi/fantasy books, as voted on by 60,000 people.  I'll quote Neil Gaiman, when he said "Ignore the placings, read the books."  Or at least, take a look at the books, and see if they sound interesting.

Bold the ones you've read, underline the ones you've partly read, italicize the ones you intend to read, and strike

This is a weird list - how come some of them are individual books (that are part of series, like Dragonflight and Going Postal), and others are hugely long series? And Neal Stephenson is on there 4 times and CJ Cherryh and Octavia Butler aren't there at all? I cry shenanigans! >.>

I know! And even series are treated oddly -- The Sword of Truth is on alone, as are the two Pratchett books, and both of those are part of a series -- and other series are broken apart, like the Sword of Shannara trilogy-that-is-only-sort-of-a-trilogy. I sort of want to know what their submission process was -- it seems very arbitrary.
