Around the World in Just Over 80 Books

The role of literature for a long time is to open new worlds to readers maybe places they will never go. I did not read all but about a third of these books and many are worldwide classics. Reading is a great way for learning more about the world. There are a wide variety of novels and authors and genres on this list.
