One thought is, to prevent sticky clutter, we could possibly turn the "selections" thread that Elfwreck started into an all-encompassing categories/selections/discussion/suggestion/administration thread, if Elfwreck were for it.

I'm going to jigger the months a little more:
Code:
Jan  RunnerUp
Feb  Romance
Mar  Thriller/Suspense
Apr  Humour
May  Fantasy
Jun  Classic
Jul  Mystery/Crime
Aug  FreeForAll
Sep  NonFiction
Oct  Horror
Nov  Science Fiction
Dec  Classic
It was an effort to try to split up the following groups:
- Science Fiction, Fantasy
- Classic, Classic
- Mystery/Crime, Thriller/Suspense, Horror

I really messed them around. Since summer is supposed to be about fun reading I put Mystery, and FreeForAll in it so we can get some good summer reads. I also put NonFiction into September for back to school time. I would have liked to space Humour and Romance better, but the months they are in just make too much sense.
I agree that looks like the way to go for 2012.
HIMS really did a great job reorganising the list.

Tom, to be clear, it seems you may be killing two birds with one stone and also agreeing to this statement from HIMS' post:

Is this the case?
