On _America: The Book_. I simply loved it as well. The way the book is set up as one of those old social studies books we loved to hate is great. But other than that, I agree, the book is absolutely funny and hilarious. It would be scary if it were not for the fact that if one looks at how America runs, the authors are not too far off from the truth. Everyone should read this book at one point or another.
I recently discovered this list myself, and I found myself humbled at fiding I have only read 10% of it, since I do read a few science fiction works now and then. Then again, I also read widely on other genres. As others have mentioned, there are many omissions on this list. At any rate, I have read 1,3,7,8,9,20,30,32,48, and 100. 32, _Rogue Moon_ I just completed. It is a nice easy read, and at first it may seem the hero is just another testosterone filled daredevil, but there is more to him. The ending I found quite neat, had to think about it a bit, and that is always a good thing in a scifi book.
