I'm in. I don't know about categories like 'music'. Are there really 25 great books about music out there, and aren't most of these memoirs or biographies, anyway? Same with cooking.
Here's how I'd do the categories:
Canadian Lit
American Lit
European Lit
World (non-european) Lit
Children's Lit
Science Fiction
Fantasy
Trade fiction (mystery, horror, romance, crime)
Fiction - Wildcard
Non-fiction - memoir / biography
Non-fiction - scientific
Non-fiction - travel
Non-fiction - historical / political
Non-fiction - philosophy / religion
Non-fiction - writing / reading / language /communications
Non-fiction - wildcard
Graphic novel / comic book
Humour / Satire
Anthology / Short Stories
Picture-book (photo or illustration)
Pre-20th century
