Complex.com - 50 Books to Read Before You Die

Despite the list image, this challenge is mostly modern works.
"Anyone who's spent hours inside a Barnes & Noble knows how daunting it is to select the right books.....which is why we here at Complex have decided to provide a diverse end-of-days literary list, a.k.a. 50 Books To Read Before You Die, one that's been compiled from the personal libraries of each staff member."
