Finished my first challenge, The Guardian List Challenge


What did you think of The Guardian List?

It was my first challenge and the one I finished first. I found the books on the list to be off the beaten path as far as "fantasy" goes (or science fiction/horror for that matter). I got the suspicion that their definition of fantasy is different than mine. For example, I read both "Crash" by JG Ballard and "The Wasp Factory" by Ian Banks and found them both to be more weird/disturbing than really containing fantastical elements. They're not based in reality, but they don't exactly take place in any world that isn't our own. I am curious how many other books on the list fall into that "not-fantasy, not not fantasy" place.
