TJ's 200 Best Books of a Lifetime - Page 3

This list varies in the content of the books chosen. Some are mainstream, some are not. Some are a joy to read, some are not. If we only read for pleasure and are not willing to be challenged, then this list is not for you. The goal is not to max out the number of books read, but maybe challenge you to read a new one that may interest you. If you get an idea or two of a new book to read then you will enjoy this list, just as I do with others. I am always looking for new ones and have at least 50-60 in my queue at all times. These books have made an impact in some way in my life.
