I share your readings, plus Cryptonomicon.

I've tried a few of hte later Dune books and I think they gradually degenerate into exploitative garbage. Personally, I'd recommend anyone to stop reading after Dune Messiah.

I agree with several other people that a few of the books seem strange selections for a science fiction list.
