Good Books To Read 2018: 40 Books To Read Before You Die.

Good books to read 2018: 40 books to read before you die.
05/07/18, 1)54 AM
The 40 books you need to read

before you die.
There is no companion like a particularly brilliant book.
Some books have the power to transport you to another world entirely, and
once they spit you back out, you find yourself completely changed.
We spoke to dozens of women to compile the ultimate list of books you

must read before you die. There are a few classics, but we decided to leave
out any of those books people a little bit pretend to have read because they
make you sound smart and sophisticated.
Without even necessarily intending to, the list includes an incredibly

diverse range of authors and characters – representing a spectrum of
human experience.
These books explore themes of sexuality, race, mental illness, disability,

the meaning of life, motherhood, love, heartbreak, grief and fear.
Consider this your ultimate checklist.
