Natalia | 8 comments After yesterday's meeting, I jotted down the recommendations we shared for what one book we would leave on our own "Reading List" - similarly to both the main list in the book, and the author's own list at the end of the book. Most of us had two recommendations, so consider it a bonus list!

I hope this list sparks inspiration for new books to read and explore, and further discussions as to why they are "must-read: books I would save if my house was burning down around me" ;)

In random order:
- Roots
- The Great Believers
- All the Light We Cannot See
- Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
- The Tattooist of Auschwitz
- Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
- The Night Circus
- The Hobbit
- Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
- The Blue Sword
- Better
- The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
- Homegoing
- Becoming
- Being Mortal
- Sharp Objects
- A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet
- Diary of Anne Frank
- Dune
- The Cry of the Ice Mark


* I apologize if I have misspelled, or jotted down the wrong recommendations!

For those who weren't able to attend the meeting, add your recommendations down below for those who may see this post in the future, looking for more recommendations!


Sheri | 40 comments thanks for posting Natalia! I'm far more likely to give this reading list a try, there's less "nope, I already DNFed, or No, sorry I did not like" books on it, haha.


Hannah | 5 comments Apologies, I would like to retract my Cry of the Icemark suggestion. It came out of my mouth in a matter of panic trying to think of the books that I bother to own. I would like to replace it with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, which impacted me more profoundly. Thank you for this list!


Emily (emquixotic) | 15 comments This is such a great list it’s so cool you guys did that! Thanks for sharing it here.
