Gen X Book Recommendations

This list started with a picture of a Gen X Display at a bookstore and then the comments of others. I wanted a few extra to be able to fill a whole page so I searched for other Gen X lists. I kept going becauses I found suggestions that I connected with more as a younger Gen Xer.
