I've heard this is just a list of depressing books and that"exit-level" refers to exiting the world - these are books to read before committing suicide, supposedly. Most of them sound depressing: I've heard Stoner is a popular suggestion for that kind of stuff here, and I'm guessing an encyclopedic examination of Melancholia might be kind of a bummer; but what's so depressing about a book on the difference between English English and American English? Supposedly it's actually quite humourous.

Exit level just means the opposite of entry level. Patrician lit.

That's a joke about American English being awful, glad you're capable of picking up on extremely subtle subtexts.

Also, whoever revised this list did a shitty job of it, the original was better.

No, exit level is exactly what OP said it was.
