Must Read Books

Some of the books we chose are classics such as To Kill a Mockingbird, 1984, and Jane Eyre to name a few. These classics are books that we believe everyone should read at least once. That doesn’t mean every book we selected is the greatest book ever told. Some of them tell stories that everyone needs to read and understand the message the author was trying to make when writing the story.

Not every book is going to change your life. But all of these novels contain stories that may do that. For example, a novel like The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is one of the funniest novels ever written. Some people may end up hating this sense of humor but many have loved it as well as the fun plot of the novel.
