Top 5 Books in Various Genres

Inspired by the list "V's Top 5." I changed 'horror' in the original list to 'graphic novels,' and 'others' to 'children's books.' To make the list 50, I added the categories of 'crime' and 'biography.'
1-5: classics
6-10: fantasy
11-15: general fiction
16-20: historical fiction
21-25: history
26-30: graphic novels
31-35: science fiction
36-40: crime
41-45: children's books
46-50: biography
