Top 50 Books

It is list time. A book list is difficult.  At first I thought of doing it by genre, but to be honest I don't have enough not sci-fi/fantasy favorites to make an entire list of 50.  Don't worry the list isn't all "that kind of book" if you aren't into that.  I thought of doing all 50 by rank and it would just be splitting hairs really.  So, only the top 10 are in any kind of order. The rest are generally increasing in the amount of love I have for them, but not overly deliberated on.
