The Best Fantasy/Scifi Stand-Alone Novels

Hi guys!

Well, instead of just doing a Top 10, I have elected to draw up a list of all the books which received the most votes. That way, we all have a vast selection of titles to work with, so it's actually much better for everyone. So this list is for all those people who have been asking me which stand-alone books they should read!;-)

I have to admit that the votes compiled introduced me to many titles I did not know about. And I figure it will be the same for most of you!:-) Which was the purpose behind this entire process! So here are those titles; some of them are fantasy books, others are scifi, and others fall somewhere in between. Enjoy!;-)

Just wanted to let everyone know that the novel that received the most vote was Kay's Tigana. I presume that few would disagree with that!

By the way, I am officially out of poll ideas, so I guess this one will be the last for some time. Unless someone comes up with a few brilliant ideas, that is!
