Honestly it was a crazy list. Mix of what was popular at the time as well as classics. It was really cool though because they did a docuseries where they had influential figures talk about the effects the stories had on them as well as background on the publishing and creation of the books. Lots of fun facts. You can probably find it on YouTube still, if not on their website 😉
Cool, I'll take a look :)
