'18 Great Books You Probably Haven't Read'

A little while ago, John Green who is one of my favourite authors/vloggers/people ever made a video entitled '18 Great Books You Probably Haven't Read'. I watched the video enthusiastically and just as he said I haven't read any of them! But I want to and I thought you might want to as well.

I love John so I'm always going to take his book recommendations seriously and I've requested and several of the books on John's list. Unfortunately we don't have all of the books but we do have quite a lot of them so I've conveniently made a list for you below if you're interested in checking them out.

Round Ireland with a Fridge - Tony Hawks

Thirsty - MT Anderson

Boy Proof - Cecil Castellucci

Fly on the Wall - Emily Lockhart

Show Way - Jacqueline Woodson

The Enormous Room - E.E. Cummings

Regarding the pain of others - Susan Sontag

Death Comes for the Archbishop - Willa Cather

This Blinding Absence of Light - Tahar Ben Jelloun 

Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone: the Carter Family and their legacy in American music / Mark Zwonitzer with Charles Hirshberg

The last summer of reason / Tahar Djaout

(If you don't have the book you're after in our collection John has the Amazon links to the books in the description of his video).

And here is a link to John's books if you're interested in checking them out and I wrote a blog post about them a couple of years ago if you're interested.
