Esquire 80 Books Every Person Should Read
What can we say? We messed up. Our list of "80 Books Every Man Should Read," published in 2015, was rightfully called out for its lack of diversity in both authors and titles. So we invited eight female literary powerhouses, from Michiko Kakutani to Anna Holmes to Roxane Gay, to help us create a new list. Each participant made 10 picks. It's a new year, a new Esquire.com. We're looking forward to reading and we hope you are, too.

The Top Ten by Peder Zane
The Top Ten is a book and a website edited by Peder Zane. "We launched Top Ten Books because we had to know: Which books do our favorite authors deem the best ever written? When they gave us the answer we wanted more: Why do these particular titles mean so much to them? So we asked some of ‘em to write a short appreciation of one of their picks. A.L. Kennedy, Stephen King, Margot Livesey, Lydia Millet and Tom Wolfe are among the writers who expressed their admiration for works that range from uber-classics such as The Bible to obscure gems." This list is the top 100 of all the chosen books. https://www.toptenbooks.net/the-list-of-books-view https://toptenbooks.net/all-author-lists-view
