1. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

2. Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson

3. Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson

4. The Long Ships by Frans G. Bengtsson

5. The Brothers Lionheart by Astrid Lindgren

6. Ondskan by Jan Guillou

7. Grunts! by Mary Gentle

8. The Meq by Steve Cash

9. The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

10. The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne

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


There is only one woman on mine. I am sure I should commit some form of harakiri. They are just off the list, though. If we had 12, there would be more.

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.
