The Ultimate Book Bucket List: The 50 Best Books of All Time

"What is the best book of all time? This question is impossible to answer — to some, the best book of all time might be Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. To others, it could be A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. If we're looking at plain numbers, it appears that The Bible is the best-selling book of all time — but does that really make it the best book of all time?
Because there are just so many books well worth a read, we've collated some of the very best stories ever told for you in the list below. They're even sorted by genre, so you can pick your favourite and get started — do you like fiction, non-fiction, or romance, or even fantasy? We've got you covered. Read on to find our curated list of the best books of all time." - refinery
