A few selections that I didn't see that I think are truely great books:
War Music (poetry) a jazz poetry rendition of several chapters from the Illiad, simply amazing.
The Living End (fiction) The book by stanely elkins, not the other that floats around. 4 tales about the afterlife. Think Dogma with dead people and fewer dick and fart jokes.
Preacher (graphic novel/comic book) More enjoyable than Sandman, if not as intelligent, imo. A story of love and friendship at it's heart.
Revelation Space (hard sci-fi) Three of probably the 10 best scifi novels I've read in recent years are from the series starting with this book.
Something from the Nightside (horror) A truely wonderful detective noir story. Easily readable on a Sunday afternoon, and so enjoyable you'll be flipping through immediately after to read specific lines again.
Wraeththu (post-apocalyptic fantasy) Wonderful book, humanity is evolving into something different here.
Battle Cirlce (p-a fantasy) One of the most often over looked books by Peirs Anthony, but one of his best
