Many moons ago i was recommended to read The Last Starship from Earth by John Boyd with it being referred to has the often overlooked SF classic. It does occasionally squeak onto a list but is still sadly often overlooked :( Also no HG Wells, Verne, Silverberg or Bob Shaw books on the list? Certainly would have War of the Worlds and A Time of Changes on mine.
