That's a pretty useless list as far as I'm concerned. Most of the top ten are widely read books by authors whose names have some recognition outside the fannish world, often thanks to film and television, leavened by a couple of recent and trendy books. In other words, it's a pretty standard list of "sf&f that people who don't like sf&f have heard of." Of course, that's pretty much what I expected when I looked at the nominees.
