I generally don’t do fiction, so my list would be quite short. But I am a fiend for history, economics, politics and current events, naturally.

I keep seeing “The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾” highlighted… I think I may have to pick that one up at some random point in the future just so I can add it to my ‘done’ list. *hehehe* ~Shady

Oh man, I got to do this one. Two Norwegians in there! Can you spot them? It is also obvious how many people have done this since the list gets more and more “obscure” and personal as farther it goes. And what is up with all the overrated Pratchett books? And J. Wilson is for teenagers, guess a few teenagers have taken part?

RYN: Americanized Doctor Who?!? *eyes widen at the scandal* Oh PLEASE no, I KNOW what us Yanks can do to a good show, I’ve SEEN the American Red Dwarf pilots! *shudders* We remove 80% of the good stuff, re-use old jokes, and toss in 2% of our own funnies and think of ourselves as clever. *yanks out hair* The only redeeming quality of THAT script was Holly’s random electro-orgasms! 😛 ~Shady

RYN: Yup. I’ll admit that fanfic is one of my occasional guilty pleasures (I’ll not even THINK about it for nearly a year… and then get obsessed with it for a couple of weeks… then get over it again…) but there are some things I just DON’T wanna know about! 😉 ~Shady

It’s strange, I’ve never bothered to do these. I’ve seen at least a dozen variations of these floating around. Every so often, I’ll encounter a list of sci-fi/fantasy or other things that seems to ignore a lot of author’s that are critically acclaimed within the genre but ignored by all else.
