Not a bad list. Strong Anglo-American bias, and no religious books (both understandable). The 'books that changed your world' feels like a dumping-ground for recent UK bestsellers that'll be forgotten in 50 years (Schott's miscellany; Eats, shoots and leaves; A child called 'it'), but most of the rest are bona fide classics. Better, many of them are classics that are still fun to read.
