60 Best Books to Read Before You Die

"Tsundoku is a beautiful Japanese word which means a pile of unread books waiting in a corner. If you're like me, you have one of these well-intentioned piles (on a shelf or elsewhere), where the books sounded good when you bought it but fizzled out shortly thereafter. None of the books below will end up in that pile. Many are well-loved by millions of people across the globe. Some are reprinted hundreds of thousands of times every year." -joincake
