The Top Ten

Lord of the Rings was the not very surprising overall winner, but 2nd-10th were a lot harder to predict:

1 The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien
2 Dune - Frank Herbert
3 The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkien
4 A Song of Ice and Fire - George RR Martin
5 1984 - George Orwell
6 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
7 The Sherlock Holmes stories - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
8 The Foundation Trilogy - Isaac Asimov
9 Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
10 The Name of the Rose - Umberto Eco

The final order was fairly stable, though Hitchikers was doing better until the final stages of the voting, dropping from 4th place.
