And it came to pass... A list of books that have either moved my soul, shaken my core, or simply entertained the heck out of me! I present to you the list of books (most of which) I feel EVERY person with a modicum of interest, desire, and intellect should read before they die. There are no criteria for these books other than the fact that they were brilliantly written OR just wildly entertaining. This is not an "Oprah's Book Club" type of a thing because I have no agenda to use as a backdrop. These books do not necessarily mean that they are works of litterary genius, but rather that they were fun to read and well worth the time. THE FOLLOWING BOOKS ARE IN ORDER OF MY MOST FAVORITE, BUT I AM ONLY RANKING MY "TOP TEN". After that, I'll just list the books that I've really enjoyed reading and feel comfortable recommending.
