| 10 Books to Read in Your 20s What are the best books to read in your 20s? If you asked 20 people you would probably get 20 different answers. Which would be 20 times 20. The reason for so many different book choices is that for the first time in your 20s, everyone's lives start to look very different from each other. Some of us are focusing on romantic relationships, perhaps marriage or starting a family. Others begin excelling in their careers or creative endeavors. And some of us spend the decade bouncing around just trying to figure things out. It's all normal. Because in your 20s, there is no normal. Still, there are some themes and experiences that feel near universal in this decade of transition into adulthood. It is a time of deep personal discovery, relationship building, and self definition. In some way, they all have to do with the question of who do you want to be and what do you want your life to look like? Whether you are in your 20s or just still feel like you are, you may find meaning in the books from this list. Check them out here |
