I'm interested, but I'd suggest keeping the categories down to under a dozen, and broad in definition. You're going to have difficulty appealing to the middle with a long and intimidating list of genres. Something like:

SF/Fantasy/Horror
Mainstream Fiction #1
Mainstream Fiction #2
Humour/Satire
Mystery/Spy
Graphic Novel/Comic
Non-fiction #1
Non-fiction #2
20th Century classics
Pre-20th Century classics
Wild Card Pick

I'd also suggest allowing 1 mulligan, where if someone has no pick for a category, they can sub in any other book they want as another wild card. For example, I've never read a graphic novel, so I would be greatly disadvantaged in that category.
