The Goodreads top books list is just a popularity contest. People vote for the books they recognize.

#7I'm always sad that lists like this from tech people never contain any fiction.
I have often seen the sentiment that everything you read should have some kind of educational value or it's just a waste of time.
Does Bill Gates not read fiction? Perhaps he understands that he would be looked down on if he were to include some in his list.

I have nothing against affiliate links, but you should try to add value rather than just copy Gates' list, and you really should declare their use explicitly rather than implicitly via a link shortener.
[Update: Rather than delete your post, you could have added your impressions of the books (or recommended better ones) and merely mentioned the use of affiliate links.]

I think part of it too is feeling qualified to (publicly & prominently) judge fiction, which doesn't come as naturally to as many folks as judging "ideas" on a nonfiction list like this may – & particularly with the extended write-ups Gates is doing.
