It is an interesting list. However, a better title would be "46 Books that changed America".
There are 34 instances of the word America/American in the article for 46 books and most of the authors on the list would be English speaking or American. As a result, this list provides a very American centric view of literature, history and experiences.

I imagine there is some term for a journalistic fallacy where the writer says everyone, the world, etc. but the actually mean the USA or some subset of it.
