Five books everyone should read once in their lives, in no particular order:
- The Dispossessed - Ursula K. Le Guin
- Parable of the Sower - Octavia E. Butler
- The Fifth Sacred Thing - Starhawk
- A Half-Built Garden - Ruthanna Emrys
- The Divine Comedy - Dante Alighieri
Now let's see your list!

Re: The Divine Comedy: the Longfellow translation is the classic, if you like your literature poetic. If you find that unapproachable, though, the Singleton translation is also excellent, with a more accessible prose style! (Also, read the whole thing, not just Inferno. Seriously.)
