I would probably drop I Robot (yes, really!) from the list, and replace that with Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama.
And if you do read Rama, don't bother with the sequels/spinoffs. The closes depiction to the feeling I had after reading Rama II has been captured by xkcd in the Matrix strip. [0]

- sxcurry 12y agoI agree - Rendezvous with Rama is a great book. I'd recommend listening to it as an audio book - really lets your mind fully construct Rama.
