The 1001 Fantasy Books You Must Read Before You Are Turned Into a Newt library is open to the public!

There is still a lot of work ahead but we are open for business!

*CHEERS*

You can find the list in the library by number of votes and by year as well as some nifty stats in the wiki.

Go dig in, ask questions, give feedback and above all enjoy some fantasy!

Great job! My library has 18 books in common. Pretty sure that's low compared to others here, but it's more than I expected. :)

Great work! I share 50 books... much higher than I thought it would be. I'm going to enjoy looking through each one of the 1001, and I'd better start reading more of them too... you never know when that crazy old, newt-obsessed witch might put the whammy on ya!

erg only 36. I hear being a newt really isn't so bad.

Nice work Morphi!

Wonderful library, Morph! I share 14...but now I have somewhere to go when I want to pick up a good fantasy.

Thanks for all the work!

Morphy, this is a awesome effort.

Awesome. One suggestion - If you edit the votes tags to make them all two digit numbers, then sorting the tags will sort on number to votes. For example, instead of "Votes 3", use "Votes 03".

Incredible! I was surprised to see I have 28 books in common. I was also surprised at the choice in viewing style- why CK publication date, but not CK series info, since there are an awful lot of series in there?

>20 Thwaite: Because that's the way uh-uh uh-uh, I like it, uh-huh uh-huh.

:)

Feel free to view it in whatever fashion works for you. I like the publication year because it is similiar to the other 1001 works which sort by year.

Ah, gotcha. And now I must curse you, Morphy, curse you! Mount TBR has grown exponentially, there's no end in sight!

Looks great...you did an amazing job Morph. It must be nice to see all the time and and dedication you've put into this start to come together so prettily.
