I used to get this list in my email every month, a couple of years ago. The ranks have changed quite a bit since then. In fact, IIRC, the Vlad series was in the top 5 at the time - I'm fairly certain that I picked up Jhereg based on the high ranking. Same with Bujold's Vorkosigan books, Guy Gavriel Kay's novels, Zelazny's Amber, Gene Wolfe's New Sun books, and Cook's Black Company series. It's a great guide, if you're looking for new authors to read. - DLW
