Okay, so I've been thinking about all of the fabulous books out there that everybody has read. Well, not everybody. And that's what struck me as odd; that some books large sections of society just all happen to read together and other people miss the period of time that these books are the thing and never read them. Here's my top 15 list that you've probably read a bunch of but I think everyone should at least try to read in their lifetime. I've tried to avoid ones I didn't like so much or books of authors I had already mentioned. Please add more books you'd recommend in the comments section that I might've missed. We're always looking for more to read, am I right? ;)
