Author Min Jin Lee's Lifetime of Books

This collection of books is derived from a NY Times essay "A Lifetime of Reading Taught Min Jin Lee How to Write About Her Immigrant World". The essay was written by Min Jin Lee herself; she is the author of "Free Food for Millionaires" and "Pachinko," a National Book Award finalist. She is writer in residence at Amherst College.
Items 1-8 are specific books Min Jin Lee has read while 9-16 are representative works of authors who were an important influence.
Update: Ms. Lee, please do this list so that at least one person may have read "East Goes West" by Younghill Kang.
