Did anyone else finish their list and wonder how certain authors didn't make the list?
For me, after review I was surprised that Neil Gaiman, China Mieville, Robert Jordan, and Orson Scott Card weren't on it. These are some of my favorite authors, but none of them have any books that stood out enough to make my list. I was really surprised that Gaiman didn't make more appearances in that thread.
On a side note, I've read more RA Salvatore books than any other author. I'm not surprised at all that he wasn't on anyone's list (including mine). Call it a guilty pleasure, but I do enjoy his books.

I didn't care for Scar so I wouldn't call Mieville one of my favorite writers, but Perdido Street Station was amazing. I couldn't call a book a favorite unless I've read it more than once.
I didn't share most people's love for Gaiman or Card.

I wasn't surprised about Neil "I write shit that people inexplicably like" Gaiman.

Sandman makes him worth the hype, even if one is unimpressed by all the rest. *NM*

I tried to read American Gods and then Sandman based on the ravings of people here. *NM*

I know exactly what you were asking. I just don't re-read things that don't resonate.
