Inspired from the previous BigFooty Top TV/Movie threads that we've seen in the past I thought it would be good to do something similar in the book folder! I know there is the top 5 book thread already but I thought it would be a good idea to collate votes at one point in time and get a definitive list, as that thread has been going for quite a few years.
Noting that the book folder is a lot quieter than the other folders, I am hoping for a Top 50. I may have to change this depending on the response from the BF community. It may even extend to a Top 100 if there are enough people voting.
So, thank you to Kryptastic/benji for the voting format/rules which I have blatantly ripped off. They are as follows:
1) Create your list. Try to pick your favourites, don't worry too much if they're critically acclaimed or would likely appear on anyone else's list.
2) Order your list from 1-20 and post it in this thread, or if you’re not comfortable doing that, PM me your list. Make it clear what your order is, as it will be important for the tallying of the votes. If you only have 17 movies, just list 1-17. However, unordered lists and lists with less than 10 movies will not be counted.
3) You have around two weeks to collate and submit your list. Voting will end 23:59 AEDST on Friday January 30th, and all going well the countdown commencing on Monday February 2nd. Every book at #1 on a list will get 20 points, #2 books will get 19 points and so on until #20, which will get 1 point.
4) In the even of a tie, winner determined by the following criteria, in order: number of lists that book was included in, highest position of book. If still tied, they will be assigned equal rank.

Notes:
- A book series may be voted for as one entry, as long as the story is continuous. For example Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time or JK Rowling's Harry Potter series.
- Where one author has more than one series or story in the same universe they must be considered separate, for example Raymond Fiest's Riftwar Saga and Empire Trilogy would be considered two different entries. Similar to Tolkien's The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, even though there is some cross over, they are not considered continuous stories.
- You may vote for a single book in a series if you wish, for example you may want to vote for A Clash of Kings by George RR Martin, instead of A Song of Ice and Fire but you cannot include both the series and an individual book in your list.
- Comic books, magazines, newspapers, audiobooks/podcasts, plays, screenplays, etc are not included. Reference books such as encyclopedias, atlases etc are not included. Collections of poems are included as long as they were published as a book.
- Adding the author to your list will make it easier for me to collate
Any questions or queries can be posted in this thread or PM'd to me for a clarification.
Happy voting!
