You do realize that the way you phrased your question means you're asking for lists of books, not a list of books, right?
And if you're asking for people's opinions on their top 10 favorite books, excluding books because YOU think they're "crap" won't give you good examples of what people really like. If you are looking for books to read and don't want to read Harry or Eragon, maybe you should say that instead.
