A list of books that sits on my bookshelves, some read, but not all. I prefer well written gems over bestsellers.
Her masterpiece. People say her writing is witchcraft.
Agua viva - Clarice Lispector
Gothic and romantic.
Wuthering Heights (Penguin Classics)
A pennyless young noble woman looking to change her destiny through hard work.
Far from the Madding Crowd (Penguin Classics)
Terrible, hilarious protagonists.
Good Material by Dolly Alderton
Looking to discover Sally Rooney.
Intermezzo: A Novel
From the author of Fly Over the Cuckoo's nest, the younger son of an Oregon family return to execute is vengeance.
Sometimes a Great Notion
A must read Gillian Flynn. Fell in love with Amy Adam's interpretation on screen.

From the author of Swan Song, follow the -almost- normal life of a boy in Zephyr, Alabama where monsters creep in the local river ..
Boy's Life
Emil Ferris was almost left undiscovered. She drew every day in the subway until her manuscript was finally edited.
My Favorite Thing Is Monsters
A lovely guide on how to create a holistic company.
The Monocle Book of Entrepreneurs: Run Biz & Life
Another classic from the Brontë sisters. I prefer Pinguin clothbounds editions for the classics, as they are pretty and afforable.
Jane Eyre (Penguin Clothbound Classics)
The first book I read in English. I am still very found of the characters, and keep a great memory from this read.
To Kill a Mockingbird
Very fond of this book. Feels like an old grandpa is narrating his epic family's story.
One Hundred Years of Solitude (Harper Perennial)
Only the best vampire chronicles out there.
Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice (1991)
A collection of essays on nature, ecology and a holistic life.
The World-Ending Fire: The Essential Wendell Berry
John Irving best book. I read this when I was in high school and still remember it vividly. The battle of the sexes and its extremisms hasn't changed a bit since the 70s.
The World According to Garp by John Irving
It's easier to start reading David Foster Wallace when exposed to his essays first. One of the greatest writer of the XX to XXI centuries I believe. He predicted a society where everything would become TV, one where we would be constantly entertained...
A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again
I'm not a big fan of thriller, but this one is hilarious. A group of elderlies in a retirement home solve murder cases. It's hilarious and the characters are lovely.
