Post written by Leo Babauta. I recently ran into a couple of reading lists (I’ll share them at the end) and realized that I LOVE reading book recommendations.
I can’t get enough of them. So I decided to compile my own (somewhat eclectic) list of novels I think are amazing and essential to every library. I hope you enjoy it. I should make some notes before diving in. First, this isn’t a comprehensive list of classics. It’s not a comprehensive list of anything. Another note: there are actually many more books listed here than 50 — a number of those listed are actually series of books, in a couple cases series that include 20 or more books.
There are classics here, but there are cheap thrillers and popular fiction and even a few “kids” books. If you could fill your library with only 50 books, you could do much worse than choose these 50. Not in any order but just in the order they came to me: King Lear, by Shakespeare. Some other lists of books I’ve enjoyed recently:

10 Awesome Fantasy Series That Are Not Potter or LoTR. In my literature related internet journeys I’ve seen the same scenario time and time again. People have finished reading “Harry Potter” or “Lord of the Rings” or are simply just getting into fantasy and are looking for something interesting, asking for advice from the more experienced fantasy readers. Unfortunately the names they are given are always the same: Jordan (“The Wheel of Time”)Martin (“The Song of Ice and Fire”)Goodkind (“The Sword of Truth”) Don’t get me wrong those are all great authors and great series, but there are many other series and authors that get overlooked when august names such as those start getting thrown around. 10. I had to put this in since it almost never gets mentioned by anyone and it certainly should. I don’t want to give away the plot, but here are a few teasers :).

Better than ‘Twilight’: 5 Underrated Young Adult Movie Adaptations. Like it or not, the “young adult” genre is here to stay… at least until Hollywood discovers a new way of making tons of money with five installments of the same story. This breed of movies seems to be at its peak right now. This year alone we have six YA adaptations hitting the big screen, starting with Stephenie Meyer‘s The Host (which opens in theaters today).
The sci-fi/romantic movie will probably be another goldmine, which will in turn produce a sequel and tons of screaming fans. Still, there are some YA movie adaptations that haven’t gotten their due. Here are five underdog movies from an overrated genre. 5. Youth In Revolt is an original, wonderfully dark and underrated comedy that features Michael Cera in two very cool dual roles. 4. Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie are the leads in Girl, Interrupted, a film where 90% of its cast is female. 3. The Perks of Being A Wallflower was loved by critics and audiences, but it still hasn’t really received the recognition it deserves. 2. 5 e-Book Collections with Over 100,000 Free e-Books.

SILENCE OF THE LAMBS Thomas Harris This isn't the first time we'd meet the psychopathic Hannibal Lecter—that'd be Red Dragon—but it was the most eerie.
