Can you recommend a better one? I picked it at random when I wanted to explore literature, but it seemed to be cited often enough.

One that does not omit Dostoevsky or García Marquez over mediocre books in the English language would be a good start.

Again, this list is from Random House, a major American English-language book publisher.

My suggestion would be to start with the authors nominated for a Nobel prize for literature.

Filtering by those available in readily available English translations should yield a workable list.
