Monika's 250 Books to Read by 40 - Page 5

With a little over 5 years to go, I decided that it was a good idea to make a list of 250 books I want to have under my belt when I'm 40 (in the year of 2023). Some are books I want to read again and the rest are what popped into my head at 34. Should be a little of everything and all my from my shelves. Hopefully ListChallenges is still around then.
(Knowing myself right I'll probably end up reading every book but the ones on this list.)
