Nym's Top 50 Books

Highly subjective list of books that I like and find influential. Criteria is that I have to have read the whole book front to back (so many poets don't make the cut, even if I've probably read a books worth of them). Not entirely sure if Ficciones is the book of short stories by Borges I read.
