matgbMay have done an earlier version of this before; the top 25 sci-fi/fantasy books on What Should I read next; liked/disliked/want to read. Annoyingly, doesn't have "wouldn't touch with a barge pole" or "can't be bothered to read" which is why I didn't also do the top 25 contemporary, as while there are some good books on that list, there are some meh and some I just don't care about.

chrislightfoot and the MySociety bods. Note the cunning way they've linked to Amazon using their user id as well; go buy something, they get a cut -)
Also, this one doesn't have "read this now", So I bolded Strange & Norrell just to remind people; leant my copy tosusannah_banana over the weekend, 'twas her birthday, much fun has been had.
Only, I don't do kite flying very well.
