Hey there! I want to make a list of books worthy of attention. I would prefer to make a list of classics - books that must be read before you are dead. And a list of contemporary literature that may influence future books. If you have any ready lists please share them, and actually any book you propose would be considered! Thank you very much for the help and support! ~Niya

There are already a number of lists. Newsweek has a list of the top 100 of all time on their Website. There are The Harvard Classics. Also, Great Books of the Western World. If you want some specifics from a voracious reader, here are three: War and Peace, A Tale of Two Cities, and Les Miserables. Those are all outstanding.
