No, in order to be well-read you're better off reading well known books. Whether or not you're well-read is more about others' social perception of you than it is some arbitrary number of books you've got under your belt. If you can say you've read the 300 or so most well-known books, that people have heard of, that serves you better than having read 600 obscure books that no one will ever ask you about or recognize if you bring them up.
