I've read 1984 and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell from that list; I can't say I ever thought of the latter as science fiction, though (seemed pretty straightforward alternative history fantasy to me, from what I recall).
I'm a science fiction reader in theory - the overwhelming majority of science fiction I've read have been Doctor Who and Babylon 5 tie-in novels, with a handful of other stuff thrown in. I like the idea of science fiction but for some reason most actual science fiction books/series don't appeal to me; possibly because I much prefer character-driven stories to plot-driven and hard (as well as most "classic") science fiction seems to be largely plot- and idea-driven.
