Emintx's "Recommended Reading List for the Well Educated Adult"

Add to my lists | Print this list

I was always a voracious reader while growing up but have lost much of that as a working-homemaking-adult-mommy-college student. Once in a while I’ll dive in and enjoy these pleasures again and I am hoping this list helps guide me. I copied and tweaked it from jsherry’s list.
