Pretty straight forward question

Which list (top 100, 500, or 1000) do you think does it best? Looking to make a must do before die list.

To me, the Bokklubben World Library comes the closest to being the best list. I would also nominate Bloom's Western Canon list, but it lacks Eastern authors.

Bokklubben World Library has got the essentials
I also like The 20th Century’s Greatest Hits: 100 English-Language Books of Fiction by Larry McCaffery
