There are a couple odd choices on that list. I thought Timeline was pretty entertaining, but it's a typical Michael Crichton made-for-tv story and probably not worthy of such a list. I guess it sort of makes quantum physics palatable to the average joe but you could hardly say it's pushed the boundaries of the genre.

It's also worth mentioning that Minority Report isn't even a novel. It's a short story than spans maybe thirty pages. Still, virtually anything by Philip K. Dick could make it onto a list of the best sci-fi.

Anyway, there's still quite a bit of good stuff there- even the ones that aren't exactly sci-fi.

There was also a list of the top 100 sci-fi books that was going around on Reddit or Digg a while back that looked really good. Here's the link for anyone interested: http://home.austarnet.com.au/petersykes/topscifi/lists_books...
