Top 50 Books to Read Next List

This is my reading list. What I’ve read, what I’m reading, what I’m going to read next. As an English major, I feel that it my sworn duty to at least attempt to be well read. My goal is to read interesting, entertaining, meaningful books by gifted authors that expand my mind.

About my rating system … I give more stars to books I enjoyed reading. It sometimes also means that the book is well-written. I occasionally put pithy reviews on my Goodreads.com account. My reviews are poorly written and don’t really review the books. Nevertheless, 136 people from 27 countries have liked my Van Gogh book review on Goodreads. I should probably write more reviews.

Countries include Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Cuba, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Oman, Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, United Arab Emirates, United States.

Since 2013, I’ve read 314 books (2013-24), 26 a year for 12 years. (I remember the plot of maybe four percent of them.)

• PP98 = Pulitzer Prize winner in 1998
• PP98f = Pulitzer Prize finalist in 1998
• NBA09 = National Book Award winner in 2009
• NBA09f = National Book Award finalist in 2009
• (GR:3.97) = Goodreads’ rating out of five
