What makes someone "Well Read"

Do you think it means they have read all the classics or they have read from a wide variety of authors or subjects?

Both. It means that they have read all/most of the well known "important books" and have read widely in the "not quite so well known but still important books". I think it means someone who has read broadly and intensively for a long time.
