Books That Are Worth Your Time

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Mizzou chapter.

I always get questions about what books people should read, so here are a few that I believe are fully worth your time:

1. Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick

I know what you’re thinking. “I’ve seen the movie!” Trust me, read the book.

2. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

The same situation as Silver Linings Playbook. Phenomenal book that is worth a read but most people feel that seeing the movie is enough to fully grasp the story. Read the book, you won’t regret it.

3. Born to Run by Christopher McDougal

This book is so inspirational and is based around the concept that the human body was born to run. It tells the story of an Indian tribe that dedicated their lives to running.

4. Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick

This is the cutest and quirkiest book you’ll ever read.
