Hey everyone, I’m trying to build a “Top 100 books to read before you die” list — but I want it to be based on real, personal recommendations. I’m very open-minded and genuinely curious, which is why I’d love to create the list this way. What’s the one book you think everyone should read, and why?

As long as the lemon tree grows. IM TELLING U ITS A MUST READ- Its so sad and the romance is so innocent and cute
Fiction: 11/22/63 by Stephen King
Non-fiction: Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing
Lonesome dove, everybody needs some Gus and Call.
You see, life in San Francisco is still just life. If you want any one thing too badly, it’s likely to turn out to be a
disappointment. The only healthy way to live life is to learn to like all the little everyday things – like a sip of good whiskey in the evening, a soft bed, a glass of buttermilk, or a feisty gentleman like myself.”
*__THE STAND__* by Stephen King.

Seriously though, I haven’t read many books that I’d consider as having universal appeal (as in EVERYONE should read them) but 1984 and Man’s Search For Meaning should be on that list.
The Forbidden Dragon King by Rosemary A Johns. This is my must-read, god tier romantasy.
The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan
1984
Sometimes the one of the most cliche answers is still the correct answer.
Gotta go with The Brothers Karamazov. That book has something for everyone. Heart, humor, heuristics and a detailed portrayal of Russian culture in the 1800’s. It will challenge you, but you’ll be all the better for it. A true masterpiece.
