Happy Sunday! What is Quintessential literature? Well, that depends on your point of view. What do you consider significant, or which book do you think has literary merit, has historical significance? What does the world at large think? Whose definition do you go by?
Mental Floss 13 Quintessential Gen X Books
Book Bub's 76 Books and Novels That Everyone Should Read in Their Lifetime. I've read 23 and several on the shelves waiting to be read.
Penguin Random House The Must-Read Books of 2025 (So Far) An eclectic list of which I've read other books by most of the authors but not these books.
I'm still working my way through Peter Boxall's 1001 Books to Read before you Die. Periodically I'll thumb through the pages, check off the books I've read, notate which ones I have on my shelves, and mark the ones I know I'll never read. But then again, my interests might change in 10 years, so they'll get a second or third chance.
Have you discovered that there are books you wouldn't have read ten, twenty, thirty years ago, that now they spark your interest? Yes, me too.
Happy reading!
