I've read 11 of those.
Not, if I'm to be honest, a very good list in representational terms, with multiple entries from a few authors (how can someone have three William Gibsons yet pay no heed the the man who wrote cyberpunk before most people even knew what a computer was - Alfred Bester? how can someone possibly consider "Animal Farm" as "Science Fiction?) and vast swathes of the genre and its history utterly ignored (Where's Harlan Ellison? Where's Ursula Le Guin? Where's Samuel R Delany?).
But there are some very very good books on there. I imagine Charles Stross will be particularly pleased to appear on the list amongst many of the great names of the past century-and-a-bit.
