If you were to make up a list of the most iconic UF books, which ones would you include. Like, if you were to make a list for people who had never read any UF books, to give them the best start at exploring the genre. Not just a list of favorites, more of a tour of the genre and it's major subgenres.

I know I would probably include War of the Oaks by Emma Bull, to show the early days and how the genre formed in its modern sense. I would include Dresden to show it's most popular series. I would probably include Garrett PI to show second world UF. I don't read much in the way of the more paranormal romance side of UF, so I'm not sure what I would recommend there. I'd probably go with Sandman Slim to show the darker side. Or Criminal Macabre if they were a comic fan.

Just my thoughts on a lazy Saturday morning as I wait for the family to wake up, would love to hear yours.
