Another best novels list

I'd be game, but I suspect that a lot of the usual suspects, minus of course
Rand, Clancy, King and Grisham, would show up.  Note however that the
Wallace list did something like this, based on the Humiliation game, and it
turned into a huge sprawling list where everyone seemingly tried to outdo
everyone else.  (I'm proud to say I put _Hypnerotomachia Poliphili_ on the
should've-read list before _The Game of Four_ was published.)

What's the unusual mechanism? 

Peace

Mark

Okay, so lets do a better one. I'll organise it if there's any interst
(though I have an unusual
mechanism in mind).
