Huh. Only two women on the list. How odd. It might have been different if series was allowed, of course.

But as such lists go, it is prone to change, had you caught me 12 years ago, magician and lord of chaos would probably be on the list, now I regard them with a healthy dose of scepticism.

Honestly, had I just seen more of my bookshelves from here, you might have got other answers.
