Books You Should Like

Below is a list of wonderful books. I really like looking at lists of things that other people enjoy, and when I love something I want to share it with anyone who will listen. If you are similar, then enjoy the below.

Much like the film list, a lot of these are lit major obvi, but that doesn't mean they aren't great. They are listed in no particular order, and there are so many other books that I could talk all day about why they are great and worth reading. These are just the ones I have read that I consider the most wonderful.

If ever anyone actually reads, or better yet, takes an interest in this, feel free to ask for recommendations! I love love love getting to know what someone enjoys, and recommending things that match (just because we have different tastes doesn't mean I won't have an idea of what to share).
