The Stuff I've Been Reading List

The list is finally here!

Well, it's more of a series of lists, broken into fiction and non-fiction classics, the Modern Library Most Influential Books of the Twentieth Century and lists of fiction and non-fiction contemporary titles which we recommend.

Please note that these lists serve as a recommendation only. If you would like to read a book by an author on a list that does not appear on the list, or have something you would like to read that you feel should be on the list, see me to discuss your choice. I'm sure we can include it as one of your required books.

The lists will be constantly updated, so please check them frequently.
