Over the course of several years, an impressive list of books can accumulate that we have found interesting enough to put on our Wish List. Often different people mention the same books. There is a high probability that the books mentioned often are good books. The idea is that good books don't get lost in the big list. This is just one of the filters, it should not be blindly followed.

I assign my own weight to the person, company, or course that had the reading list.
I've never thought about «if someone
I don't like». But, if it's a professional in their field, I see no reason why you should limit yourself to learning something new. Or just ignore it.
For example, I want to understand the subject of Meditation, I filter the list of books and get a starter list from which to start familiarizing myself with the topic. In more detail, I can look at the books that were most often recommended.
