There is such a list - and it includes a variety of books from classical to contemporary - that should be read. There are other complimentary lists of British books to be read, poetry, etc. Thanks!

Great question. I don't know the answer but I will research and post my findings. Please do the same as I am interested as well.
Here are my findings:

As far as a nationally recommended reading list, I couldn't find one. I even checked out the U.S. Department of Education, and nothing. The lists above may not be nationally recommended but they seem to contain good literature that I can't dispute the importance of reading.
