Robin Hobb is my favorite author, but I wouldn't put the Liveship Traders trilogy on there...Farseer...sure...Liveships...no.
List isn't bad, but it's weird at times for choosing a trilogy or 1 book. They put up both "The Caves of Steel" and "The Naked Sun" by Asimov when they probably just should have said "Robot series". Not sure why Asimov's "I, Robot" is on there, except for they made some terrible movie sort of based of Asimov robots (except not). It's a collection of short robot stories - he had several of these.
My favorite Heinlein wasn't on there - "The Door Into Summer" - but I understand why they picked the ones they did.
I too cannot see something like Xanth being on there. I even like the first few books, but they go downhill pretty fast.
Nice to see a few non-super-huge authors up there (C.S. Friedman, Mercedes Lackey).
