This thread will contain the top 300 books as determined by FBG.
The previous thread discussing rules, etc. is here.
To reiterate:
We limited submissions to works of fiction. Novels, including graphic novels and short story collections, were fair game. This included YA and children's books. Plays were also allowed (please note that a screenplay was also submitted and accepted. I apologize in advance if this causes anyone indigestion.)
Books comprising a series (e.g., Wheel of Time, Harry Potter) had to be submitted one book at a time (with one notable exception, which, although split into three books, was done so at the behest of the publisher and not the author).
Here is the scoring system that was used.
Lastly, I'd like to propose that we adhere to the Fiver rule (translation: the Thumper rule for books). Please refrain from disparaging remarks about selections. Criticism is acceptable. Mean-spirited remarks are not. I recognize that this is a somewhat vague distinction, but let's be cognizant of the intent of the rule.
In other words: Be best.

The scoring system is designed to "reward" the top 25 books.
