10 Books You absolutely need To read while you're in your 20s
Christine Hume

If you are in your twenties then you are out of High School and either in college or pursuing your career choice. Either way, you might not have time to do some extra reading or you might not want to. These ten books are not too lengthy, too difficult to grasp, and are important reads that will make you think. Yes, most of these authors are dead but that doesn't mean their books and influence does not still live on because it does.

Every day these books are brought, read, and change someone's life. This is the day to change you. You might despise or admire these books and their authors but you will never know until you take the time and read them.

So, take the time. Read these books. Think about what you read. And understand and imagine worlds that you might never have known existed before.

Like I said, it's a big hassle.
