Based on those lists I feel like a total "Bubba Bo-tard" having only read these works:

DIANETICS:THE MODERN SCIENCE OF MENTAL HEALTH (I just had to see wtf it was about)
PRINCIPIA MATHEMATICA (took me three years to work through the math which is the only way to read it...)
THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ALICE B. TOKLAS
OUT OF AFRICA oops!!
THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MARK TWAIN
LONGITUDE
A MATHEMATICIAN’S APOLOGY
IN COLD BLOOD

But maybe it just shows how many truly wonderful works there are out there...and oddly many of the older works are still relevant today. Perhaps that is what makes them great to begin with?
