This blog may help you think about your list: http://collegeappjungle.com/2011/10/10/the-harvard-supplement-or-how-to-write-about-books-part-1/

. . . this supplemental essay will make an unstated argument of a narrow sort, which I may sum up thus: What an interesting mind I have and what a well-read person I am! You should admit me to Harvard! Yet in order to succeed in this unstated argument, you must convey the capaciousness of your thought and the variety of your interests by writing an essay which makes some sort of sophisticated primary argument about a selection of books.
