I didn't really follow this, and thus didn't vote on anything. I did look at the results, and thought I would at least figure out which ones I had read. Their rules on series is a little odd, and so there's cases where I had read one or two of a group.

Some general notes/comments:
"The Thrawn Triolgy" by Timothy Zahn? A nice addition to Lucas' Star Wars universe (and one of the last things I paid attention to, particulary after the disappointing prequels) but they aren't great literature.
Sigh...outside of the first couple, why include Anthony's Xanth series?
Is Robin McKinley's "Sunshine" held in that high of regard?
Wow, lot more Neil Gaiman books on the list than I would have expected.
