While the reading list as a thing in itself seem to be criticized, I agree with the point of developing stamina and to become more capable of critical thinking. If the story element comes easier to some people, its a great approach. The point being to push the reader outside simplistic but comfortable thinking and build qualities able to confront the evident but often subtle complexities.
