Juniper's Best Books of the 21st Century - Not Exactly Well Read, but Who Cares? - Page 2

As someone who did that same sort of list here wrote, reading is not about ticking high-brow lit' boxes, it's about enjoyment. I totally agree with this point of view and started perusing my reading diaries to find what were the books that I enjoyed most these past 24 years.
The result is a very varied list, with books I enjoyed reading for various reasons too. A lot of different memories surface when I think about these stories (or nonfictions), and it's all that matters, right,
---
I hope you enjoy this list!
Love from Europe and happy reading to all!
