I don't know if someone's mentioned lists that have been combined but I've found a few. The best one I found is actually a website using a combination of 43 best of book lists but a lot of the lists are from various book awards or within a certain time frame. It's still my favorite and my goal is to read the first 100 on it:

thegreatestbooks.org

Another combines 10 top 100 book lists, combining lists of popular vote with lists of critics:

Others you might know of?

I created my own with about 50-60 different lists in a database.

Wow, can you post them somewhere or tell me how I can set up a database to add my own lists to?

I really like thegreatestbooks.org as well. I also came across thegreatestnovels.com and like it as well.
