This reads like a list put together by a well-meaning college freshman.

List seems to be nearly all novels, with a few plays and poems.

No Euclid's Geometry, no Herodotus Histories, no Bible or Koran, no Samuelson's Economics or Smith's Wealth of Nations, no Plato's Republic, no Communist Manifesto, no Leviathan or Rights of Man, no On the Origin of Species. Just off the top of my head.

All of those and more are arguably in the top 100 greatest books of of all time.

Euclid’s Elements was the book; Euclidean geometry is defined within it.

No Foundation and Empire in top 300

…ok?

Well I enjoyed Pippi Longstocking, but I wouldn't have thought it would have got into the top 300 and F&E didn't.
