TOP world literature, the list of the best books according to the New York Times, Forbes, Vogue, and BBC... These lists are all different, although there may be a match in 5-10 positions because any list would be incomplete without Dante or Márquez, Shakespeare or Umberto Eco. However, it would be strange to meet a better match, since the books in the list are collected according to the tastes, hobbies, and life stories of every single person.
The past centuries have given us many interesting works, and the 100 best books in the world are only a small example, a selection according to certain parameters, of which readers are not always informed. Most of them have been included in school and university literature programs, so the titles and authors are familiar to readers.
They say that brilliant writers are born in difficult times. They experience wars, revolutions, economic crises, and repressions – that is, suffering ennobles talent. The statement is not very humane, but it seems true if you remember the destinies of those who created the 100 best reads of all time. But look around and you will notice the diversity of books on the bookshelves and in the bookstores, and many young writers have experiences that others did not have even at 70. Yes, in these trying times we are all witnessing the creation of hundreds of new, fascinating, and instructive stories; they all remain in world literature. They will eventually become part of the next top 100 reads of all time.
You won't believe it, but reading a book for 10-15 minutes reduces stress hormone levels in your body by half. By the way, on average, people only read 5-6 books a year. Perhaps they didn't know what to choose. After all, even if you have a list of 100 books to read, it’s not so easy to determine which one will be the first.
Some people are guided by ads: "Europe's top choice," "100 thousand copies sold in the first day!" or "The acclaimed bestseller of the Orion galaxy and the closest galaxies!" Others treat advertising slogans as red flags and the warning "Don't." We have some tips for such cases.
Speaking about the 100 best-selling books of all time in a regular bookstore, we would advise you to take a closer look at the binding and pages and pay attention to the size and font – after all, the book should be comfortable to hold and easy to read.
