Sharky's Highly-Rated Books: Prose for Grown-Ups - Page 3

These are books I've read and given a 5/5-star rating. These are novels, plays, short story collections, biographies, and true crime, with perhaps a bit of other non-fiction mixed in. An eclectic collection. I was a English major but I also like some low-brow stuff. Enjoy!
PS I am going to make separate lists for kidlit/YA, Cookbooks, Poetry, and art-related books, so those aren't represented here.
