That was my general take when I blogged about it a few days ago

For example, I'm surprised why Madame Bovary isn't higher on the list, and why Ayn Rand made it at all given the fact that virtually no one who reads her books really LIKES them; they just like the philosophy or they don't. A few of them I've never even heard of, too.
Also, I was surprised to see that no one at this board was talking about having any reading challenges for 2013.

I've read something close to 75% of those books and own a few more. Most I could see appearing on there, but a few were just oddballs (Martin and Rand being the two most obvious examples).
As for a reading challenge, I didn't post mine here, but I did on my blog:

Je suis méchant.
If this board had more activity, I'd propose doing a list similar to this one

A good list, though some of the choices are surprising.

I dare say any non-English novel that would appear on such a list, would be available in translation
