This is an interesting list. It's missing some of the true great classics, like Frankenstein, and it has a number of unusual, less well known titles, but there's a lot to like on it. There's certainly a lot for people to disagree about, but it may well have your less often cited favorites, too. What do you think?

Hitchhiker’s is good but is more of a comedy

You say that like that's a bad thing...

Oh no, it's not a bad thing at all. It just means it doesn't really belong in a list of sci fi books.
