Swedish Times Guide to Books You Shouldn't Miss (In English)

This is a selection from the article "Whatever you do: don't miss these books!" ("Vad du än gör: missa inte de här böckerna!") from The Swedish Times. The articles ambition was to list books from several genres, and it primarily includes works from the 20th and 21st century. I've excluded any items that only are available in Swedish. I've also included children's books (which is why there's not any Astrid Lindgren on here) while I've kept a few YA/new adult, though not all of them.
