Is there a recommended reading list that once completed will make a person intelligent?

yes
yes. read every book.
>>7979600
Not inherently. More knowledgeable, most likely. "Intelligent" by some measures, sure.

So where do I start?

As with exploring any form of media, you start with the beginning, and then continue through all the works in chronological order.

You can read all you want, but it's not about how many books you finish, but rather how many you actually understand.
Being intelligent is subjective also, I may be an idiot to you, but I may also be a genius to someone else. Read what is interesting to you, there's no purpose in reading boring garbage just for the sake of be intelligent. Do you want to be a walking library or specialized in a field of study?
Tough question.
