Books to Read by the Time You're Thirty... - Page 2

... or at least what *I'd* read. I've kept a 'book diary' since I was 11, so it's not quite everything, but pretty much. It's in perfect chronological order so hopefully you can see me grow up through the list! I studied Theatre at university so there's a bunch of scripts in the middle - tick either if you've read the script or seen the play, they both count! (Except the Shakespeare, you've got to earn that.) Some things I reread multiple times, I've not duplicated them on the list but, for instance, I reread the entire thus-far-published Harry Potter books everytime a new one was released(!) Which books bring back memories for you?
