ESK Highly Recommended Books

things i've read and loved (except for books for kids/youth, and books i read too long ago to remember)---
-- i didn't really spend time pondering the classics that i "read" in highschool and whether they merit inclusion... those are all dissected and ranked by others with more to say about it than me.
-- i tried to steer towards things that aren't on all the other lists
-- these are books that moved me in some way or stuck with me over the long haul
