The attentive reader may notice that this list contains 51 works instead of the announced 50. This is entirely my fault, however numbers are merely a distant acquaintance of mine and counting takes a lot more practice than I have hours available in my schedule.
Is this list representative of good taste? No, probably not. These are just books I enjoy for whatever reason.
There's a German title, "All Quiet On The Western Front", which I would encourage anyone to read who's trying to understand the nightmare that was WW1/ chemical warfare in the trenches — it put the incredible works of J R R Tolkien into perspective for me.
Have fun ✨
