Equivalently

  (setq org-agenda-files `(,org-dir))

That's a backquote (on a US keyboard, it's the key to the left of the
1 key in the top row), not a normal quote. See

  (info "(elisp) Backquote")

The (list org-dir) form is quite readable here, but when things get
more complicated, the backquote form tends to be more readable than
manufacturing list structure by hand.
