These 20 Books From The Last 20 Years Are Instant Classics You Should Read ASAP
Every year, we talk about the best books of the last 12 months — both the ones everyone has read and the ones you may have missed — but what about the recent classics you should read? On the list below, I have 20 books from the last 20 years that you should read or revisit ASAP, because great books don't deserve to fade into obscurity.
It's worthwhile to note that I'm not saying any of these books was the be-all, end-all, best book of its publication year. A book's worthiness is a matter of opinion, and there's no way to quantify what makes one book better than the next. These are some pretty dang good books though, many of which have won major literary awards and been selected for celebrity book clubs throughout the years.
The books on the list below date from 1997 to 2017, and were some of the most talked-about books the years they hit store shelves. Chances are pretty good that you'll have heard of at least some of the titles I've included here. Don't let that put you off reading them, however. Even if you've read them all, you should still consider re-reading them as soon as your TBR pile allows, because it's never a bad time to read a classic book.
