>Science, Mathematics and Technology
Here I'd become exceptional at engineering and would probably focus on extremely difficult/theoretical physics (way out there stuff that only a few people understand. People would wonder how the hell I got it). Also I think I would study everything relating to nuclear physics and engineering so that I could understand how a nuclear reactor worked in depth and also build one myself if I wanted to (not a terry, just think it would be cool).
Learning about chemical, biological and ballistic warfare could also come in useful.

>classics
This is just everything that would be considered a "classic" - Dickens, Twain, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Faulkner, Shakespeare, Kafka, Orwell, Wilde, Austen, the Brontes, Dumas, Chaucer, Conrad, Hemingway, Joyce, James, Faust, Defoe, Rand, Melville, Gibbon, Kipling, Verne, Thoreau, Lewis, etc.
Maybe I'd need more than 200 to read everything I'd want but you get the picture, I'd read at least 2 or 3 of every renowned author to get an incredible broad view of the western canon.

>self improvement and leadership
Pretty self-explanatory, but 200 is maybe too many though. I think I'd lower that number to 50 and contribute the rest to philosophy.

>Philosophy
Same with the classics, I'd read 5 works from the top 50 philosophers just to save me the time of doing it myself in real life.

>every major religious text
I mean this including various versions of the same text (i.e. I'd read the Bible in the original Aramaic, the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, etc. as well as hero legends like the Epic of King Gesar and all the great Chinese texts). Let's say I'd need 50 to do that.

I'd read 1000 history books on all areas - every culture, every war, every great individual, going back all the way to the Paleolithic. I think knowing everything there is to know about human history would be pretty funky.

What about my answer wasn't specific?

You're obviously not going to read a bunch of genre fiction or celeb biographies. Avoid stuff with bad reviews, shitty sounding descriptions or authors who you think are full of shit.

You'd just read the time-honoured classics that you already know are probably decent.
