I agree with you. Having more bold titles doesn't mean that I am more well-read than you, it just means that I've read different things. In fact, I think lists like these can even be detrimental to people who are trying to develop their taste as readers; instead of encouraging people to explore different authors and follow their own likes and dislikes, these lists send the message that if you read these particular books, then you will automatically become well read. Silly.
