Actually quite a boring list - the books are too well known. Much more impressive to brag about reading more 'obscure' books - don't brag about reading War & Peace: brag about reading Resurrection, forget Jane Eyre & name drop Villette. Mention of The Anatomy of Melancholy, or Montaigne's essays will impress the educated far more than the ones listed. The list seems more about impressing the uneducated.
