Lithub's 100 Books to Read Before You Die - Page 2

Prepare yourself for some frightening news: you have, according to LitHub, only a finite amount of time left in your life to read. The average American, for instance, reads 12 books a year. Assuming that you're over 25 years old, that would mean that you only have approximately 700 books — max — in your future.
Are you suddenly feeling the tightening coil of mortality? Great. If you're now wondering where you should start, we've got you covered. Here are 100 books to read before you die.
