Good books (mostly). Though if you like sci-fi, you have likely already read most of them (this list is mostly "classics" category).

Here are two better lists if you are after lesser known / more modern sci-fi gems:

I'm slowly chewing through them, there are some awesome books / new authors there.

Curious to see the Cryptonomicon on the second list.

It's a great books sure, but sci-fi? Surely just contemporary fiction? Hell, half of it is historical fiction.

"this list is mostly "classics" category"

Well stated! But I found 6 books that I haven't read yet, so that will keep me busy for a few weeks.
