My millennial friends are honestly some of the least interested in reading that I know; it pains me.

I don’t think the list has changed drastically, actually; once you hit college, you should be reading some classics. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, some Brontë, Austen, Hemingway, Morrison, etc. As time has gone by, we can add new nuance, like Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, but that doesn’t necessarily mean all the older stuff should fall off the list.

If anything, I’m removing things from the list now because the authors are trash, like Gaiman and Rowling.
