Not a bad list, i guess you could go on forever.
The first four, who can complain really. I'm with the geeks on those ones.
I just finished reading "The Salmon Of Doubt" the bits and pieces from Adams computer after he died. Wanted to cry....

Ian M Banks- Player of Games, Turn To Windward, Use of Weapons.
Take your pick, they all totally rock.
Terry Pratchett- i love all his stuff, Colour of Magic was his first Discworld novel and started a great series, so maybe thats why its there. Its good but i really like alot of his later books, the characters, world and plot are more fleshed out, more interesting. Who doesn't love Granny Weatherwax, The Patrician, Vimes.......
Neal Stephenson and Neal Gaimen...sigh. I'll have those guy's babies anytime.

Other authors that come to mind that could be there- David Brin, Dan Simmons, Connie Willis, Michael Marshall Smith, Cordwainer Smith, Verner Vinge.
Plus many others i'm sure you good people could suggest.
