Inspired by The Shrike, name your 10 favorite books (not necessarily "the best" books, but the ones you Y). You may present 2 versions of the list - all books, including non-fiction, and sf/f only (marginally sf/f at least). But it must be strictly 10! No alternates allowed. Series don't count as one book unless it's really one book like LotR.

Here's mine (and yes, it hurt). It's ordered by how many times I've re-read the book.

1. Tolkien - Lord of the Rings
2. Catherine Asaro - Primary Inversion
3. Catherynne M. Valente - Palimpsest
4. Nicola Griffith - Slow River
5. Tanith Lee - The Birthgrave
6. Vera Nazarian - Lords of Rainbow
7. China Mieville - Perdido Street Station
8. Kim Stanley Robinson - Red Mars
9. Samuel R. Delany - Tales of Neveryon
10. Storm Constantine - Calenture
