I was trying to get into reading more and thought what should I read? So I search must read books before you die? I got a few top 100 must read novels.
I then got the seven lists put together and my top 100 without double ups was actually the top 520 novels to read…

One of the best novels I've read so far is The House of the Spirits, the first novel by Chilean writer Isabel Allende, classified as magical realism, the novel incorporates unlikely and strange elements into the ordinary. The story tells the life of the Trueba family over four generations from the beginning of the 20th century to the 1970s and follows the social and political movements of the post-viceregal period in Chile.
Sounds like a good book! I’ll keep it in mind as well
@kr has a pretty great list of book recommendations.

That book will not change with anything.
