Together with a couple of helpers I've started to collate a new and improved version of the list[1].
1: http://www.reddit.com/r/raerth/comments/cpxkq/reddits_favourite_books/
I will be including a lot more recommendation threads, tweaking the weighted scoring, noting the genre, and a few other bits. Also thinking about adding an Amazon link (non-affiliate).
If anyone's got anything else they think would be good, let me know. Hoping to get it finished this week, depending on work.

Simple change that I'd like, have the links sorted into non-fiction, fiction, and both, and the actual list with amazon links, sorted by fiction and non fiction, two separate lists.

Lots of book are available for free. If you add an amazon link, also add a project gutenberg or similar link.

I think patrick rothfuss (Name of the wind; The wise mans fear) should be included.

I think the list should go on to at least 300 books. You should also make a thread on r/AskReddit, r/books, and similar subreddits asking for top titles and help on refining the list. Hopefully, less popular books would get more exposure and you will be able to get better feedback with a larger audience.
I really appreciate your hard work and good luck with the list!

You could post threads in appropriate subreddits for specifically this purpose, and let the upvotes decide the x top books from each thread.

So is version two still getting worked on? Your awesome for putting the work in!
It would be friggin awesome if there were genre notation or separation. I'd love to go looking for Reddit's favorite philosophy books, programming books, adventure books, etc.

What threads do we go to in order to vote/recommend books?

Perhaps throw out the more trollish ones like The Bible and Sarah Pailin's book.
