That's fascinating. I don't think I would have come up with any of the ones in your list - but I know and like more than half of them, and don't know and dislike any.

(The Goblin Emperor currently being high on my list of fiction to give people, this is useful because it gives me ideas for 'if you liked that, you should try--', which I'm always terrible at, except for '--more books by the same author.')
