Pffft! I've read three of them! THREE: Dune, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, and Neuromancer.
It's odd. I've read several books by these authors, but not these specific books. I consider this list a collection of weird choices. I mean, if you're going to choose those authors... Take Asimov, for example: the clear choice is Foundation, isn't it? Or even one of the books in that series, such as I, Robot. Aasimov wrote gazillions of books, so why The End of Eternity? Harry Harrison's "Stainless Steel Rat" books are practically a byword in sci-fi, so why choose Make Room! Make Room! Zelazny wrote some amazing sci-fi, but I've never even heard of The Dream Master. ...Then again, maybe that's the point of this list?
