What a very peculiar list! The motive is admirable, but the books have me scratching my head. I've read about half of them, but the only two that would make my all-time list are The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and All Quiet on the Western Front, and I'll give honorable mention to The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. Whatever gets people reading is great, so perhaps the books were chosen for accessibility? They make more sense if that's the criterion.
