ETA: Everyone who's doing top five lists: I hereby ask you for your top five sf/f books for non-genre fen. I have a Border's giftcard burning a hole in my purse; I spent about 1/3 of it today (on sf/f) but want more!

My list (and things I've already read or know about):
1. LotR
2. HP
3. Crytonomicon
4. Prachett
5. His Dark Materials
(6). Narnia
