Best Books to Take You Back to the '80s When You're Feeling Nostalgic

"The 1980's was a decade built, in many ways, on contradictions. It was a decade defined by excess, unrest, moral outrage, and the rising tide of a new brand of political conservatism. It was "morning in America," but also the waning days of the Cold War. There was rising wealth right alongside skyrocketing poverty. The soaring rhetoric of the Reagan Administration was sometimes at a sharp contrast to the lives of everyday citizens. This all, of course, left its mark on the literary world. The best books of the 1980's ranged from disturbingly prescient dystopian horrors to heartrending sagas, escapist yarns, and everything in between. Here are few of our picks for the best books to take you back to the 1980's."
