So You Think You're Well Read - Page 9

I am someone who believes that in order to be well-read you have to read books from a wide range or genres and authors, and containing beliefs, cultures, lifestyles etc. different from your own. I do also believe that more or less every book you read is a step towards being more well-read, no matter what the book is, so this list contains a variety of different books. The list follows a rough order of different genres (it started out pretty strong but then went downhill, many books fit into many categories so I just stuck them wherever in the end)
Picture books
Middle grade
Young adult
Classics
Modern classics
Plays
Poetry
Literary fiction into historical fiction?
Fantasy & sci-fi
Mystery/thriller
Romance
Graphic novels
Memoirs & non-fiction
And there may be some books repeated, as the list disappeared halfway through creating it so I started again but it seems to have added in both somehow. Also why some books are in odd places (split up series, authors etc)
