Goodread's Best Books 1960-1969

Top 420 (stopped when there was nothing more of interest in the list) best books as voted by goodreads users between the year 1960 and the year 1969. I have not included books that I know personally I will not enjoy. These are generally YA books (all except the most popular ones) and romance. You will find no teen vampire romance books in this list :)
