English newspaper The Telegraph recently published a list of the 110 books that are needed to create the perfect library. After looking through the list, I'm sad to report that we don't have all of the books, especially some of the older titles. Luckily, though, we do have quite a few of the recognized classics and the newer books! The list is separated into the following categories for easy browsing:
CLASSICS
POETRY
LITERARY FICTION
ROMANTIC FICTION
CHILDREN'S BOOKS
SCI-FI
CRIME
BOOKS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD
BOOKS THAT CHANGED YOUR WORLD
HISTORY
LIVES
Here are some of my favorites from The Telegraph's list (which we also have in the library):
Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson
Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen
War and Peace, by Lev (Leo) Tolstoy
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, CS Lewis
Brave New World, Aldous Huxley
1984, George Orwell
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams
Which ones are your favorites? Are there any titles that we don't have in the SCCS library that you'd like to see?
