It says nothing about what you ascribe to it. Gary is quoted that he was inspired by this to create D&D and then the non-quote says that the following list are those books plus a few more that inspired the designers to write D&D. Nothing at all about it being important to read any of this to play D&D.And it's tucked away at the very end of the PHB in form of a very boring long list. I doubt most players ever even read this page or spared the list after the introductory words more than a glanceIt's nothing but a bibliography preceded by the Gary quote and 2 non-quote sentences</blockquote>
