Books These List Challenges Have Inspired Me to Read (Or Re-Read)

Some were re-reads, some are still to be done. For all of them the idea (or the seed of the idea) came from these lists. I loved most, disliked others, but regardless I thank you all for helping to inspire me to read on.
PS, the list is a little heavy on science fiction/fantasy, since that's what originally drew me here.
