I echo Jerry Bakin's reaction.  I just haven't had the time to filter through
my memories of the probably thousands of stories I've read.  And I'm not all
that sure my opinion is equivalent to an expert's opinion on what has
literary merit -- who's going to define "literary merit" for the purposes
of this survey?  However, of the books on the list which I have read, I
don't have any objections.  And if I thought there were a lot which didn't
make it but should have, that may just be a reflection of how well I like
to read, or of how tolerant I am of "less than best" SF.

But keep up those surveys.  It's a good source of recommended titles, and
could save some of us some money!
