Some good ones there. Maybe add Stephenson’s Anathem.

Pretty thin gruel other than Tolkien, Martin, Lewis, and Pratchett. As usual, there appear to have been many superior works omitted in favor of feminist polemics.

Looks like a list made by AI. I’ve done the same with sci-fi and sci-fi authors books.

I’ll throw in a vote for Ridley Walker. It’s a bit difficult, but rewarding.

Not much of a list without Roger Zelazny’s Amber series. Many others I’d rate above some of the ones listed.
