books to claim to have read to look insufferable
puts beret on a jaunty angle โwhy yes i went to Oxbridge and go skiing on my holibobs with papa, why do you ask?โ takes a hit of tobacco flavoured vape, puts asterisk in margin of the obscure classic iโm โreadingโ
the list for people who want to look โwell readโ and need some books to name drop - look no further if you have read them, more power to you, but this is explicitly about the people who claim to have read them but canโt read instructions on pasta
consider this a shopping list ๐ค

Overlooked, lesser known classics from all over the world and of many genres.
This list also exists as a book club on Fable under the same name.

Sub Saharan African literary fiction
Probably due to my own lack of knowledge To East, West and South Africa
