The Library 100: Top 500 Novels

How many books from the Top 500 Novels list published by The Library 100 have you read?
Also, the website doesn't specify if they mean top selling novels, the best novels ever published, or some other list which 500 novels could be at the top of. Your guess is as good as mine as a few of these titles seem pretty random and out of place on any type of 'top novels' list I can think of.
