They went with Rendezvous with Rama instead of 2001, I think.
I'm not sure if I agree with the choice.

I, Robot was just a collection of Asimov's short story robot stories. The Caves of Steel was a better choice. Seems weird to leave out the Foundation books though.

List isn't bad. I don't think Harry Potter is particularly standout, but it was significant as far as getting the masses and kids to read it.

I don't think Tolkien's The Silmarillion should be on there, though. Never found it particularly great.
