The rest of the list looks very much like dozens of other lists of top books, other than the Legacy of Heorot, which is the only one I haven't read and thus can't comment on. It looks rather like a counterpart of a list of the top 15 music albums ever as compiled by Rolling Stone - controversial and fresh, it is not.

I can't remember if I've read "Battlefield Earth", or not, it could have been that book I tried to read, but L. Ron Hubbard is a terrible writer. Maybe if you're 10 years old, he's interesting but it's no wonder he went into another line of work.
