LITERARY CANON ON A WALL?

Today I was emailed a Power Point presentation with pictures of peculiar buildings. In it a wall displaying a set of 'giant' books could be seen. I could read some titles such as Romeo and Juliet, The Lord of the Rings, The Invisible Man... and wondered who had decided what to place on that architectural shelf.

Browsing through the Internet I learn that it is the south wall of the Central Library's car park in Kansas City and that it shows 22 titles suggested by Kansas City readers and then selected by the Library Board of Trustees.
