My favorite on the list is 'All the Light We Cannot See'.
I'm still mulling over the list for a nomination. Funny, I don't see any classics in that list like David Copperfield. |
I thought it was interesting to see the list, I had not considered books that were specifically adult stories.
One author and book on that list attracted my particular attention:
Beasts of No Nation by Uzodinma Iweala. That would present a rather macabre interpretation of our theme (never too young ... to be a soldier).
I suspect you don't see
David Copperfield because it is generally considered a children's, or a teenage level, story.
