50 books everyone should read *fiction*

[anmolkaushik]

I've read 9/50 so I'm feeling like a whole intellectual

[RiverSlant]

I feel like I rarely see so many non-European, particularly Indian authors in a top50 list in the Booktube space, so this brought me a lot of joy. A great list. Thanks!

A Thousand Splendid Suns could quite possibly be my favourite book!!

[aaishasair]

a thousand splendid suns is a stunning book, but so heartbreaking.

A Thousand Splendid Suns is one of my favourite books ever. It was the first time I cried reading a book, and until today I rarely do ( the only other times were with And The Mountains Echoed - by the same author - and with All The Light We Cannot See, both heavily indicated ). It's just so sad to think there are millions like Mariam and Laila, whose voices are not heard and spirits not valued. My sister gave it to me when I was 8 years old. Who lets an 8 year old read a book like this? Beautiful, nonetheless.

Jack is giving me very strong Professer Trelawney energy in this video

[nijapyrosphere]

Me a computer science student who never has time to read things:

*Watches video and has apparently read like 40/50 books shown*

Me:
"Am I a literature student????"

Sometimes, I wish I can quit on everything and begin to indulge in the joy of reading carried with proper solitude, not forever but for a long time just enough to feed my head to satisfy my crave.
Thank you random creator for popping up into my recommendation and lengthening my To Read List, I appreciate that. :)

[gerardbiagan]

All Khaled Hosseini books are amazing. And I would double recommend The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga. Hilariously entertaining book

[ameliapc]

Me: I need to read them all
also me: never reads them

I've read 3, progress.
I do really want to read them all though

also my reading list is very very very long

[Lina-vsei]

thank you for including north & south--it's one of my favourite books of all time and an absolute masterpiece, but I feel like no one ever talks about it

[louisity]

As a BookTuber, I also recommend The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. 👌💖💞📙

[holliejadee]

omg this couldn’t have come at a better time, i’ve just been looking for some new books to add to my TBR!! 🥰

[aliyahbegum]

I love the matching of the yellow book covers on the thumbnail to go with the colour scheme of the channel lol

[alexanders]

So happy to see Things Fall Apart on this list! I read it in English class sophomore year of High School and it is one of my favorite books. It is very good.

[hebatallahhassan]

I had read 22 of these and feeling particularly proud of myself. Will plough my way through the rest. Thanks for compiling that list 👍🏼

[xCiaraLouisexx]

I’ve read 4 of these! 3 of them because they were on my A level English course, I’m glad I got to study a variety of texts! Deffo need to add more of these to my good reads list ☺️

[jessicaborin]

Unpopular opinion: And the Mountains Echoed is my favorite Hosseini book
