I carefully select books I enjoy and share what I consider classics with more readers. Writing a book isn't easy. If there's room, I'll add new books that authors recommend themselves. Once the list is full, I'll remove books previously added from reader comments and make room for new self-recommendations. Us

Only Recommending Books I Enjoy (I Read Popcorn Fiction)
(If you find a good book that isn't on my list, please recommend it in the comments. Being short on books is miserable.) I only recommend books I enjoy.

If I enjoy it, I'll keep reading; if I don't, I won't, no m
