Thank you for highlighting the salient point: this list has a reason for existing. It's not just a set of books chosen at random or some such, it's a small group explicitly selected. As such it's entirely valid to question both the selections themselves as well as the purpose for creating the list in the first place. As an example, I find it very difficult to imagine the world being improves in anyway whatsoever by requiring people to read fountain head.
