Wealth of the World
Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations - Henry David Thoreau
This list is made up of books people have recommended to me for my world literature reading challenge, or books I’ve happened across that I intend to come back to at some stage in the future. It is really just a reference page for me to keep track of everything I would like to read, so I’ll update as I go. If you would like to make any suggestions, please feel free to comment below. If you’re here for inspiration, I hope you find it.
