I agree, Jane Austen is one of the most important writers in English language.

The biggest problem I had with the list personally was all of the Roald Dahl - I read a lot of his books when I was a kid, but other than The Witches I didnt like them much. Plus he was a terrible anti-semite. (which doesnt mean he can't write, but it prejudices me against him)

There are a lot of books I can't believe didnt make it, and a lot I can't believe were on the list too. If someone wants to put up and American list I'll see which one's Ive read off that!
