well, maybe no one felt informed enough to write this, so it was outsourced to the llm (imposter syndrom) or it was pure laziness.

The trick is that this list of books amounts to nerd shibboleths. It's not important to have read them so much as be able to use them as a marker of being a smart person.

(That isn't to say these aren't good books, I'm talking about their social function among a certain type of person, corporation or natural)
