Garlicsoda's 30 Books Every Educated Person Should Read

"Books have always been one of the most powerful ways to expand a person's understanding of the world. They challenge assumptions, offer new ways of thinking, and preserve experiences that might otherwise be forgotten. Some works sharpen our sense of justice, others explore identity or scientific discovery, and many continue to influence culture long after their authors are gone. These titles invite readers to question, to learn, and to see life from unfamiliar angles. They form a foundation every educated person can build on." - garlicsoda.com
