I liked the "all time" aspect of the lists. Looked at Wikipedia for an equivalent for SF. Didn't find anything. Searched Google and found quite a few SF/F lists, but none of them seemed to fit the "of all time" criterion, and some of them seemed to be more of a popularity list. I'd welcome a pointer to a good list of "must read" SF -- most of which I've probably already read, but's it's still good to have a yardstick to measure against.
