Absolutely your prerogative, but then why ask for advice?
This is what I was referring to: that is what Harvard sees as ‘typical’ for the students they want: in itself, it won’t impress them.
this is why you had context to the list (ie, turn it from a list into an essay)! It’s all very well that you have read a lot of books and have excellent intellectual thoughts. Think about it from the point of view of the AO reading your list / essay: why does this kid think this is an important addition to the rest of their app? Your intellectual analysis of [insert book name] just tells the AO that you are clever- which is their baseline, and should already be apparent from the rest of your application.
On the other hand, connecting the dots for the AO, as you did above, is additive. So you frame your list/essay for them: ‘I love reading / so many of my peers don’t read widely / so many parents/teachers think all reading should be school-related / productive, but sharing these books has opened the door to reading to so many people I know.’ Then, use specific books on your list as examples. The point is not just that you read and thought about them, but you did something with that.
