It's worth mentioning that this is a very old list, and one that's been mocked since pretty much the day it was published. Their methodology meant that popular books were placed higher than any one critic thought they deserved. Case in point for fiction: Brave New World was considered by most critics to have some value, but nobody would have considered it for a Top 10 position.

Probably the only correctly-placed book in the fiction list was Ulysses. Several mindblowing pieces were completely ignored for the sake of name recognition, both in the original and the Radcliffe list.
