[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 9513435, member: 9053"] Looking at the 2014 page, which I haven't looked at in about 10 years since I haven't cracked my PHB since a first couple of reads, I'm amazed. There is so much stuff on that list that I would not expect to see in 2024. I would bet that new 5E players have missed about 90% of it. I was just a kid when the AD&D DMG came out, and a number of the books it referenced were a bit ... ahem ... spicy for my age, but I read pretty much all of them. And the classic works pretty much are responsible for me being an English Major in college. I would be really interested in seeing a list from 2024. Are we still going to suggest Howard and Lovecraft? I would be a terrible person to suggest books from the last 10 years but I'd love to see what people have as a suggestion. I'd say a bunch of YA lit would be on that list, and since I read none of it, that would mean I shouldn't be making any lists. I mean I'd say "go read all of Roger Zelazny's books" and then sadly lower my head as everyone said ,"who?" I see it as a missed opportunity. [/QUOTE]
