How many books/authors of the original AD&D Bibliography have you read? Do you feel you see D&D differently than people who have not read any?

Maybe I recognize a little more of the 'why' in some of the choices in the early game. Thing is, even though Gygax pointed these out as some of his influences in making AD&D, it is at best an inexact linkage, with the final output gimballed and free-moving towards significantly game-focused concerns, with often only flavor-ish influence from these stories.
