As promised, here's a list from the Must-Read Stories panel which was in 201 on Saturday from 7-8. My notes were not complete, so I'm sure I've missed many books that were mentioned at the panel; I hope that other panelists and attendees will fill in what I've missed. I'm also including stories on my list that I didn't have time to mention.
The list is in alphabetical order by author's last name.
Adams, Douglas – The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Anderson, Poul, & Dickson, Gordon R. - Earthman's Burden

Bradbury, Ray – Fahrenheit 451
Brin, David – the Uplift series
Brown, Fredric – From These Ashes
Brust, Steven – To Reign In Hell
Bujold, Lois McMaster – The Warrior's Apprentice
Burgess, Anthony – A Clockwork Orange
Clarke, Athur C. - Tales From The White Hart

Wells, H.G. - The Time Machine
Wells, H.G. - The War of the Worlds
Zelazny, Roger – Lord of Light
Zelazny, Roger – the Amber series
Looking over the list, I can see that we easily could have gone twice as long without doing justice to the topic. Please consider this just a "starter" list - I, for one, could easily add dozens more to it.
I enjoyed doing the panel very much - thanks, everyone! You were all great.
