I read the above article, and (briefly) talk about the 17 books I had read on the list. Then I vlog about the four books I owned from the list that I hadn't read yet. At the end, I discuss whether these four books deserve to be on the list.
Let me know how many books from the list you've read! Or your thoughts on any of the four from this video. :)
