    Seems a good top 12 at the moment. Glad my choice of picaresque is proving popular, should be good for a larf! Surprised fantasy isn't further up, though i'm not a fan.

    Because a choice had to be made and I thought, "Who better than I?"

    "Fantasy" as a genre encompasses more books so I have decided to go with that.
