If you’re starting from scratch and don’t want to spend a lot of time thinking about it, you might really appreciate this list of 110 books that constitute the ‘perfect library’: “From classics and sci-fi to poetry, biographies and books that changed the world … we present the ultimate reading list.” Originally in the Telegraph. (Hello! No women poets?? Actually, there are very few women on the list generally). Check out the comments for lots more suggestions … like Dostoevsky!
