Even if you do read every book on earth, your taste will be shape by your culture no matter what. So don’t try to be objective! You can’t. This is the best book list from a western point of view. Point blank.

I agree, but that’s why I don’t put too much stock into lists like this. Your list might be different, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less valid from a cultural and literary point of view. Unless it includes something insanely bad like the 100 Days of Sodom.
