Here is a list of 15 books I highly recommend and 15 movies. These are not necessarily in order, with the exception of the first 5 in each list. I know I missed some that are probably better than the ones selected, but after reading and seeing all the trash horror that I have it was difficult to even remember 15 that were outstanding.


I know that everyone presents lists like this, but I always enjoy seeing other peoples selections and have found a lot of great reads and watchs through them so I figured it was about time I provided one of my own. Enjoy!
