Top 20 geek novels -- on hold

Although I've already posted the results, another 22 people have voted (here) since then, bringing the current total to 154. When I get a moment or 17, I'll have a look to see whether there have been any significant changes in the rankings. In the meantime, I note, a few comments are still being added to previous posts. These are, roughly:

What are the top 20 geek novels on October 26 (43 comments)

Top 20 geek novels -- now you can vote on November 6 (7 comments)

Top 20 geek novels -- the results on November 9 (24 comments)

All of these have now disappeared from the front page, of course.

Many comments are basically "why wasn't xxx included?" Answer: they might well have been, if they'd been suggested earlier. Otherwise I did try to avoid it becoming a science fiction list by including some not-really-SF books, and failed. But it was fun, so my thanks to all those who took part.
