Richard's Formative List of (Almost) 100 Books

Some books that were important to me for one reason or another over the course of 38 years of being alive.
I struggled to hit 100 because I tried to only list one book per author. otherwise this would be half Pratchett, Mitchell and Vonnegut.
thanks for looking 🙏
