2kaboom's "150 Books to improve your mind"

Add to my lists | Print this list

I started this list by compiling several ‘Best of’ lists for Fiction (American, British, European), Non-Fiction (general), Philosophy, Plays, Collections (Poems, Essays, Complete Works Of-) with the intention of improving my vocabulary and becoming well-read person. This list is by no means final, and I continue to add to it whenever I see fit. If you have any recommendations, please pass them along.
