Books everyone should read.

- Vivian Beltran

In case you couldn't tell by my dream to be an author, I love books. I have been reading since time began, and over the years have happened upon a great number of very good books. And now that I feel like it, I thought it'd be nice to share this list with the internet, so everyone can judge me.

The titles that are in bold have either inspired/seriously changed me in some way. Those books are very important to me.

I feel it necessary to note that this a very condensed list. These are not the only books I have ever read (I cannot possibly remember all the books I've ever read), nor are they the only ones that I love. I will, of course, be adding to this list as time goes on, but until then, have a cute picture of me from my junior prom.
