Not how I'd rank them, but I do believe I've read almost every book on this list.

Hrm, on that list I have read:
2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 15, 16, 22, 27, 30, 33, 34, 38, 39, 40, 46, 47, 51, 53, 57, 61, 62, 63, 65, 67, 73, 75, 76, 79, 85, 98, & 100.
So, about 1/3, I guess.

list is obviously wrong if Ender's Game isn't #1

Ender's Game was decent, but it wasn't all that.

Tikker is partially right. it should be up there towards the top of the list. Lets see..
2,3,5,15,16,27,28,29,30,33,34,37(worth reading if you have not, VERY underrated),38, 39,40,46,49,51,52,53,60,61,65(costner should be shot for doing this as a movie),73,79,84,85(Should be higher on the list).
So about 28 books read on the list.
For those that have not read the Eon series by Greg Bear it is definently worth reading, I found it more enjoyable than alot of the other books on the list. Eon could be construde as "Hardcore Scif-Fi".

"To your scattered bodies go" by Farmer (the riverworld series) was one of my favourite series growing up
as far as just raw enjoyment, Ender's Game (and Ender's Shadow) are probably my fav sci-books period~
I also really like Robert Sawyer

Toss I always considered you a nerd deep down. Come on you can do it. Step into the light. Admittance is the first step to recovery.

How did Stand on Zanzibar get up there and Sheep Look Up not?

Just finished the Arthur C Clarke books on the list
Childhood's End was pretty good, but it'd be down towards the bottom of the top 100 for me
I guess they must be using the social impact of the books as part of the critereon?
