One Hundred Books Everybody Should Read At Least Once In Their Lifetime

One Hundred Books Everybody Should Read At Least Once In Their Lifetime. This is a Booklist of the most popular books according to the American Library Association. There are one hundred books listed, how many have you read? I have read 92 of them, so far, and it's about to be 93 after this weekend!

A book that almost nobody reads and understands, and if they seeing it at the local bookstore or even at the near-by library, they won't borrow it to take it home and return it later after reading it. It is such a controversial that it has been becoming true on each step of the way. 

"The World in 2020" is powerful guessing that became a true commercial story, the heart of world' economy.

By two thousand and five Chinese weren't located in America allowing countries to borrow large amounts of millions of dollars from them for infrastructure and feeding their countries economies. As the years went by and time passed, the Nicaraguans (The Nica government) signed their second Central Americas channel building with China's money at the Lake of Nicaragua and San Juan river coast to coast to compete against Panama canal and keep some of their clientele with medium and large boats, cargo and tourism transportation across the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Panama itself (the country's government) made their own credit line with Chinese government too.

The book that said these events will happen and it became true is one book called "The World in 2020. Power of culture and prosperity.

"Each page bristles with insights. 

Everybody who is thoughtful about the future should read this book"

Words written by the book's author.

      The book named Dracula by Mr. Bram Stoker is indeed a very controversial scarry literature. Kids shouldn't read it because these stories are usually fake and they look like real to very young age kids, sometimes they can't sleep and they can't perform well studying at school. Parents, watch what your kids are reading, please.

        Respecting the book " The Da Vinci Code by MR Dan Brown" could be satisfactory literature because it is written with the only intention of degrading the Lord Jesus. Look, I'm not saying it could be not true or untrue, but instead, I'm saying that the author of this book shouldn't ever write it.

          I approve and recommend reading The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by author Douglas Adams. It is a great book to spend hours imagining the space. Books about galaxies and space are always unique and mysterious, special if they are about traveling between stars and planets I also agree with about 70% that a space book is about emotions and dreams. It could be about technology, arts, and surprises on the stars and planets of the entire universe.

            Norwegian Wood was an excellent read!!

              Once in a while I borrow a nice book to spend my free time at home, laying on the bed and with the TV off, so I can concentrate on the book I'm reading. To me older literature means a lot, and specially those fat books with a lot of short stories that make me travel back in time, to the olden ages of Europe, Asia and Africa mainly. The author is recognized by his publications, call it autobiography of a good writer.

              Dante Alighieri, the Italian books author wrote the Divine Comedy (considered a three and three part epic long poem) by most American book readers.
              Historians said that this book Divine Comedy was published in the year 1320 by a man called Florentine bureaucrat turned a visionary and of course a storyteller of Mr. Dante Alighieri (the Italian real writer of that fat book).
              Again, when I choose a book, I like the best, some little books really don't help that much with my reading.
              Allow me to tell you, When you read the Divine Comedy, your mind and body is taken across a so particular trip to the burning Evil home "the hell." And never forget, the Mr. Dante Alighieri had a reason why to expose the "em personage" or the character, to travel thru a place that only dead people could go, he was looking one tru love of his life (His soul mate), a woman so special to him and was so sure that finding her after the hell, at the next passage called, " The Purgatory place" ( a place without heat or burning action )" where the good people usually wait for the permit to go heaves, but the character individual travelling was going to try to bring her back to the surface of earth outside life and not deep into the middle of the earth, on the purgatory, as the writer believes these all places were located, just before Heavens.
              lets never forget and keep on mind, that Mr. Dante Alighieri was a religious person himself.
