Blankets by Craig Thompson
The first graphic novel I’ve ever read. It explores young love, coming of age, and sibling rivalry.

Amongst Women by John McGahern
An aging Irish Republican has a difficult relationship with his family. Sparsely  and beautifully written.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
I’m sure there’s no need to describe this book. The only question is why did it take me this long to get to this book?
