No problem being mostly anglophone centric and english being used as a common ground, otherwise it would complicate too much everything.
But i have a problem with the lack of representation of great books and cultural achievements/standards that are not anglo-centric at all.
I miss a lot of great works of the human kind.
This is so important that they should have specialized people to curate that list and not just get "the list of great books that are on the top of your head when you only have an average capacity to do so".
Where is Cervantes, James Joyce, Kafka, Rimbaud, Pessoa, Homer, Goethe, Proust, Shelley, Voltaire, etc..?
It doesn't need to be that much inclusive of course, but it would be cool if it was a small window to the broader human soul instead of a subjective perspective that seems to be missing a lot of the common ground that helped to shape the civilization the way it is.
