An SAT Tutor's List of Best Books - Page 2

My love of literature began in high school in the 1970s. This is a list of my favorites from over 1000 books I've read in a variety of genres. I would recommend any of these novels, plays, short stories, and non-fiction works to anyone who wants a great reading experience. If you have read many of them, consider yourself well-read and well-educated.
