1. Best book of 2007
Dammit, a lot of them. I'd have to say author instead and for that it would be Neil Gaiman...
Though The Lies of Locke Lamora was delicious, as was Nightlife...and Moonshine...and Archangel...and Carol Berg...and Kelley Armstrong, Robin Hobb, Anne Bishop...
I'm sure you get my drift.
2. Worst book of 2007
See, I hate these, because when I hate a book I stop reading it. But I think it would have to be Oliver Twist. I cannot stand Dickens's writing.
3. Book you anticipated the most that lived up to your expectations
I didn't really anticipate any books this year...
4. Book you anticipated the most that completely failed
Either Deathly Hallows or possibly any of the Sara Douglass books...
5. Guilty Pleasure book you read in 2007
Ummm...none really. Probably Some Thriller, but I'm not too embarrassed about that.
6. Most scholarly book you read in 2007
...define scholarly.
7. Book you STILL haven't read as of 2007
Ummm...all of them? A Game of Thrones is the big one...You get the whole list soon.
8. Book you look forward to reading most in 2008
Tangled Webs! Madhouse! All the books on my bookshelf I haven't gotten to yet!
Yeah.

i_have_a_spork...the Watch series is good? You'd recommend it?
I've looked at it before but I can't make up my mind...

Seriously, I adore them. You should give book one a try anyway. If you like great plot and writing, dark heroes, no clear divide between good and evil and overall a fantastic idea driving the world.
But then I am slightly biased.
