Pat Rothfuss's 60 Sci-Fi and Fantasy Recommendations

"Anyway, here's my list of SF and Fantasy recommendations. If you read nothing but these books, I think you could consider yourself to be reasonably well-read and somewhat well-rounded in the genre.
The rules I set for myself:
1. Only stuff I've actually read.
2. No more than 40 items, or I'd be doing this forever.
3. No more than one book or series per author."
The last 20 were "runners up."
