30 Books I’m Glad I Read Before 30

I honestly credit a fraction of who I am today to each title. Thus, they have indirectly influenced much of what I write about on this site.

The email simply asked “How many, Bookworm, how many?” I read down the list and found some I expected to see make a list like this.

I also found some others I was very much startled to see. Because a list of 100 is fairly long, I’m going to share just 50 with you today. I have marked those of the first 50 that I’ve read and left some comments at the bottom.
