What Book Should I Read? – Top 10 Books You Must Read

There are so many books to choose from, but only a few books that you must read.  If you are wondering what book should I read next, then look no further than these suggestions.  The first recommendation is to read the Bible, as so many references are made to this seminal work.  It is also enjoyable and spiritual too.  I like to think it provides many ways to fulfill your reading list needs.  If you have already read it, then look to a classic.  The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald is not only enthralling but entertaining.  It has lots of timely messages that transcend the decade it was written in.  In addition, the third choice might be an odd choice, but a great reading suggestion.  Simply put, read the dictionary.  It sounds crazy at first, but it is truly edifying and the learning sections before the entries are heuristic.  You wouldn’t necessarily read it in one sitting, but just a few pages at a time gets you through it.  Not only will your vocabulary increase, you will find the experience enjoyable. In fact, I did that and I told my friends to do the same. They originally didn’t like the idea, but the few who tried it found to be a rewarding reading activity.

Now you can always go to library or book seller websites for ideas.  For example, you can see what is new on the www.barnesandnoble.com page and maybe find something of interest to you there.  But if you want to read seminal works, you will want to read the fourth book suggestion.  Given its historical place in cinema and American history, everyone should read Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell. Truly a classic and you will enjoy comparing it to the movie. Also, the best reading list is not just made up solely of fiction or non-fiction. Hence, you should read The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. This will give you personal perspective, but will also be fun to read.

So if you are still saying what book should I read next, here are a few more must reads that you should spend some time with.  The next book on the best reading list is The Art of War by Sun Tzu.  This book helps readers understand tactics and strategies that have wide reaching implications.  A lighter book suggestion is one that will have you turning pages nonstop until you get to the end.  That book is The Hobbit by J. J. R. Tolkien.  You will most likely be inspired to read other books by him on your Nook, Kindle or iPad.  The list would not be complete without a mystery selection.  One of the all time greatest mystery book writers is Agatha Christie and that is why Murder On The Orient Express makes the list.  Don’t jump ahead and ruin the ending.

The final two books on the top ten must reads might surprise you.  In fact, you might have already read these books, but if you haven’t, you are in for a treat.  The penultimate selection is from critically acclaimed children story writer Judy Blume.  Grab a mug of tea and enjoy reading the classic How To Eat Fried Worms.  Not only is it a feel good book, but it is one that your children can read with you.  Quality written books like these can be fun and can engage the whole family. Getting children’s stories in ebook format means you can take them on the go and keep your kids preoccupied when traveling.  And if you are still asking what book should I read, there is no doubt you need to read the following book if you haven’t already.  In fact, it is even worthy of a reread.  The final suggestion is To Kill A Mockingbird by  Harper Lee.  A classic and Pulitzer Prize winner.   This award winner is available on the www.barnesandnoble.com site. There you will find other great reading choices too.

Other book selections that did not make the top ten include In Cold Blood by Truman Capote.  This is a riveting tail and it is interesting to note that Lee helped Capote research his book.  Another enjoyable read that will also be educational is Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping Point.  Truly, this book makes you stop and think about the ways in which items diffuse.  If you have read all of these titles, then you are truly a prolific reader.  I would suggest perusing the aisles of the library or Barnes and Noble to seek out new book selections to read.  Sometimes, you just have to open the book and read the first few pages to see if it is of interest to you.  At the end of the day, you might be the best judge of what to read next.
