Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) I've been organizing the list into Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Historical Fiction, Realistic Fiction, and Other categories (Other being books I can't figure out where to put, or books that fall into more than one category.) I'm currently at number 94, and I hope to eventually get the books in alphabetical order (by author, of course). I consolidated some series (where the individual books in a series were listed, I just made one entry for the whole series), deleted duplicates, and corrected the spelling on some of the authors' names (I cross-checked every book and/or author on Wikipedia where I could; some of them I had to look up elsewhere).

Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) ^ epic The Outsiders is realistic, Wintergirls is realistic, and Firebirds leans toward fantasy/science fantasy, IIRC :3 Edited July 31, 2010 by kadoatie Share this post Link to post
Posted July 31, 2010 These are the books already on the list? Nice! Thanks for helping out! Share this post Link to post
Posted July 31, 2010 WHOA THAR. O.O THANKs SO MUCH for helping us out...that's really helpful! Share this post Link to post
Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) I'm not done yet! The majority of the books on the list are fantasy, actually - I'm up to 125 in the original list. I have to take the name of the book (or, sometimes, the author) and check the genre for each book. Edit: I think, to help with organizing, there should be a form to fill out in the first post when someone wants to add a book, that looks like Title: Author: Genre: etc. Edited August 1, 2010 by klinneah Share this post Link to post

Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) This list needs George Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. Genre: fantasy. Also, it misses Robin Hobb's "Soldier's Son" trilogy. Fantasy, too. Edited August 8, 2010 by lightbird Share this post Link to post

I feel accomplished knowing that a lot of the books up there are either already on my "Books to Read and/or Reread" list or I've read them. I'll definitely look up the ones I haven't read and maybe add them to my list too. ^^ Anyways, thanks for compiling this list and collaborating, along with TVTropes (durhurr), in giving me stuff to read for probably years and years ahead.
