The Ultimate List of Books to Read Before Your Ultimate Death - Page 12

To affirm my hyperbole-free list title, I offer you this list of classics both traditional and modern.
Most are derived from the highest ranking books on the fiction and non-fiction lists at thegreatestbooks.org and I've enjoyed reading many myself. Of the remaining books, most are my personal favourites or perhaps even your personal favourites. Or are books that I wish to read over the longer term.
NOTE:
--- I haven't included any acknowledged classics that I nevertheless disliked.
--- 10 of these books also appear on the adjacent "Classics Yasza Doesn't Want to Read" challenge. Who do you believe?
--- This is a certified J.K.R.-free challenge.
