I’m doing a personal reading challenge this year to read one book published every year since I was born. While I’m prioritizing books I already own and haven’t read yet, there are a few years I still need to fill.
I’ve looked through my digital want-to-read list, major literary prize winners, and “most popular books of [year]” lists for ideas, but I thought I’d also come here to cast a wider net.
I’m currently looking for recommendations for books originally published in 1996, 1997, and possibly 1998.
Would prefer standalone books to ones that are part of a series, with exceptions if they can totally stand on their own.
Translations welcome, counting them by publication year in their original language.
Especially hoping to find some books I might not naturally pick up on my own.
