36 out of a hundred.
There are seven extra books I want to read: 8, 20, 45, 51, 61, 85, 100
A teacher I had once encouraged me to read a lot of these books. Because of her influence, I was reading pride & prejudice, mockingbird, and cs lewis when my friends were reading redwall and harry potter.  However, as the years go by, the quality in my reading depreciates. I turned to Harry Potter books, glossy mags and picture blogs. I started sleeping on the train, and playing with my phone before bed and I stopped making time for reading. Ugh. Turning into a disappointment. Boo.

I want to find a book which will enlighten me. I want a deep book and not a ditzy cheap read which I will forget in a weeks time. I want something to teach me to be less superficial. I went to book depository and looked in the "personal development" section and found nothing.

Any good recommendations?
