MLA's 30 Books Every Adult Should Read Before They Die

As noted in the description, “Some selections are trilogies, so there are actually more than 30 works on the list.”

I fixed the list so that it reflects 30 selections instead of 36 books.

Yes, I know the title of the list given here is “MLA’s 30 Books Every Adult Should Read …” I was unable to find an official list from the MLA, only a press release stating the following:

The press release uses the words “top 30.” I guess you’d have to take it up with the MLA or their public relations agency if you think they should have been more specific.
