100 must-read Sci-Fi books

[AlohaDawg]

I always considered Alice in Wonderland a flight of opium-induced fantasy. Were Lewis Carroll also not a relatively noted math whiz with a lot of work in other geeky areas, do you think 'Alice' would have gotten this sort of attention? Also, I think the illustration work of Sir Joh Tenniel (himself a prominent illustrator and satirist of the time) would the book have received or maintained it's popularity?

I am not asking rhetorically; I really do wonder. It does belong on the list.
