Here’s the problem with your list. ANY student could submit it.And in fact, now that you’ve published it on the internet for anyone to see – they can! Which is why you should NEVER post your book list or an essay on College Confidential, as it just invites plagiarism. Honestly, you list is too generic, hundreds both other students could submit the identical list, It says nothing about what you love and who you are as a person. It tells me (and Admissions Director) that you like to read the kind of books that are assigned in high school . . . but beyond that I get nothing.

I really think you would be better served by writing an essay about something that Admissions couldn’t glean from the rest of your essay. Best of luck!
