The Best Books Ever According to RR

This is a compilation of lists of "Best Books" with my own touches. It contains classics, fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, history and biography. The lists were compiled and then books were removed or added based on my own tastes. There are still some I didn't enjoy reading that are still on the list, but others I like that were cut off.
