This challenge has input from over 20 people on this site, even if somewhat indirectly. The books are ones that appear on the published lists of the people who follow me. They are works that they list as their favourites or are looking forward to reading or similar positive statements (or failing this, books they've read recently). I tried to give a representative selection of the books they like reading.
Layout: the books are in blocks of 8 per friend. Not surprisingly, you might find some abrupt changes in genre at the block boundaries, given the wide-ranging interests of list challengers. I avoided using books that are extremely popular, the sort of books that almost everybody has enjoyed.
Update: After publishing this list a week or so ago, I find myself heartbroken. Only 3 or 4 of my supposed friends/followers on List Challenges have completed this homage to them. How Sad!
