A
Books to Read in Your 20s
The Kite Runner
By Khaled Hosseini
As a Middle Eastern and North African Studies student，I have a great interest in books about what takes place in this area.I first read this book in high school and really enjoyed it because of its accurate language.If any of you is interested in reading this book and hasn't yet，I highly recommend it.
Firefly Lane
By Kristin Hannah
This is my favorite book.It is a story about friendship，love and life lessons.The story covers the lives of two best friends，Tully and Kate，from childhood to adulthood.I learned so much about friendship and life.So，read Firefly Lane! You'll laugh，you'll cry，and then you'll share this book to your best friend.
Half the Sky
By Nicholas Kristof
For any person of any age，Half the Sky is a mustread.It describes the struggle of women and the most pressing human rights problems of our time：the common oppression of women and girls.
The Little Prince
By Antoine de Saint
This children's book is simple.It might seem like a wrong book to recommend to someone in their twenties but perhaps that's what makes it a good choice.It sings praises to exploration and shows the importance of making friends.
