Mr. P thinks if all students read & understood these books prior to finishing high school the world would be a much better place. If students read and remembered the ideas / messages from these books, they would be less likely to fall into the same mess the masses have repeatedly fell into generation after generation. Read them and then you will know what Mr. P is talking about. Don't read them and remain as ignorant as a cow, sheep or jellyfish. The choice is yours. Lastly, Mr. P re-reads these books every few years to keep the ideas from these books fresh in his mind. He suggests others do the same. Again, the choice is yours.
