(I got this idea in part from a bunch of other bloggers who have already done this for Appendix N, such as Black Gate.)
The appendix, in many cases, mentions whole series, e.g. "The Sword of Shannara and the rest of the Shannara novels." For my list, I'm including only the first volume of a series; if I like it enough, I'll add the second volume when I finish the first. There are two exceptions: I'm throwing the entire Wheel of Time on the list right off, all 14 volumes, all 11,523 pages. And for the Discworld series, I'm putting the first volume of each subseries on the list (except the Watch subseries, because I read the first one this year, so it's the second), so four volumes on the list for now, with a potential 28 total.
I also, rather arbitrarily, discarded anything on the list that was a short story (such as A. Merritt's works) but left on short story collections (such as The Best of Leigh Brackett). I may change my mind later, but it won't affect the page count much.
And, of course, I'm leaving off anything I've already read, which will bite me when George R.R. Martin puts out The Winds of Winter, because I plan to reread A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons when that comes out.
The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring (the remaining sequels to A Game of Thrones) and The Thousand and One (sequel to Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed) are the only as-yet-unpublished works that I have put on the list to start with.
Here's the list to start with. Note I am not, unlike the Hugos list, including works I've already read.
