    ACK!
    Similar experience here. I almost covered all of the first three rows, but ended up with only 27.

        I only scored 35 and their list rather sucks because it has some massive glaring omissions.

              62.

              actually super stoked to see "the mote in god's eye" and "lucifer's hammer" on the list, as well as a healthy amount of Asimov.

                There's a surprising dearth of Maurice Sendak.

                              A pretty crappy list if you ask me... MANY books on that list wouldn't be in my top 100.

                              Yet, I've read 79 of them, and didn't finish a few others.
