It is not &quot;you should like more of the things I like&quot;. These are not mere &quot;modern classics&quot; or &quot;internationally acclaimed authors&quot;, most of the titles I have mentioned offhand are remarkable masterpieces, no worse than 1984, Lolita or On The Road which were on the list. And I forgot The Magic Mountain,  Grapes of Wrath, Catcher in the Rye, Age of Reason, One Flew Over the Cuckoo&#x27;s Nest, etc.
