Okay, so I only included one play, but I honestly just didn't read that many that really grabbed me. I am especially partial to the books in the top five; they had the biggest effect on me. Did you have to read any of these for school? Did you like/dislike any of them? Feel free to leave your list in the comments so I can take a look!

'The Great Gatsby' all the way at number five. Shame.
