Beaft's Beft Books

This is a list of my top 60 books. Not my favourite books, necessarily; just books that are Mine. Some of them I'd recommend wholeheartedly, and some I wouldn't; some are by terrible people, and some are not technically "good" but still changed my brain in some kind of way, and some only made the cut because I read them during a particularly memorable or formative period in my life and now the association is there forever. Regardless of the reason, they're mine.
