These are just his favorites not everything he's read, and kudos to him for putting this out there. But I'm a little disappointed as the list is kind of heavily Euro-centric. Probably even just a couple decades ago this would be the norm but I think in 2019 a person of his calibre and intelligence could benefit a lot by broadening his reading tastes, and there are increasingly many excellent (non-european) authors to choose from to broaden one's perspectives. Not a criticism, just my observation.
