Luckily for you this list isn't, one wonders what you're even doing here

Only like 10% of the books are really terrible. Most of them just bestselling "classics" from the last couple decades. A third of them are really good.

imagine being an npr-listening nu-male who forces himself through one of these sorts of lists (at least as far as his feeble brain is capable of carrying him) in a desperate bid to become more 'cultured'. In the end what would this person have to show for it?
