Best Reading List Ever?

I was going through some articles on Jim Collins’ website and I came across this link under the heading Recommended Reading. A remarkable list of books.

He has 248 books that he recommends. The very best from his list can be found here. And his view on the best business books can be found here. Might be time to update my reading list for the future. For my own reference, I have read the following 52 books from his list:
